We define a Self-Conscious Unit by three necessary qualities. In the language of communication theory, a self-conscious unit must be a transponder which should be sensitive, selective and stable for a large number of independent variables in any selected range (of inputs). It is a transcendental unit. This article attempts to argue that such a nonlinear system can be represented by transcendental numbers familiar to mathematicians and physicists as well. It needs, however, a close scrutiny and willingness to ‘read’ afresh a meaning into mathematics.
