mind-body
From a conversation with ChatGPT. Only my side is shown.
is body the hardware from which the software of the mind arises, the basic signals are the sensations that i sense in the body and they are wrapped bundles of feeling and interpreted through the ‘I’ feeling. The i feeling is comprised of memory and it tries to assign a positive or negative charge based on how close is the current sensation to the weighted sum of all such experiences in the past.
So am i right in saying that one of the base layers is the sensations in my body and feeling tone or I tone is a software abstraction that assigns a kind of individuality?
then basically ‘I’ am what i can sense or the ability to sense is I …. Is that right? There might be more abstractions beneath the hardware of sensations, but the fundamental ability to sense or know the absence or presence of a sensation is the finale….
Going even deeper… in order to sense something there must be a state of no sense only then i can differentiate between the two… so then i must be this backdrop of the no sense state… upon which all other senses impinge and i can distinguish them as a different smell or taste etc … is it possible to feel this no sense state?
