Bill D:

Boy, did you miss the point in my last post.

There are two models in play here.

Model one: A spiritual being generates and recreates at will pictures of space, time, motion, etc. and views them.

Model two: A complex series of traces gets written during moments of experience to some sort of neuron- or cell-based holographic memory system on an automatic basis. These images are stimulated into re-generating by an impulse from some other complex sub-system which gives orders based on stimulus-response patterns which are in turn activated by language or by environmental inputs, and then this regenerated holographic complex of synaptic impulses somehow gets decoded into perception which is then viewed by a separate "perceive" subsystem which is erroneously considered by itself to be a self. Despite this delusory misappreciation of the real mechanistic nature, this deluded subcomponent continues to refer to itself as an I and call up more concatenations of complex re-firings of old neuronic patterns in order to think it is actually looking at pictures of past memories, but this is not the case since there is no true "I" in the system, just lots of complex sub-assemblies firing off charges at each other to create the illusion of an individual.

William, spare me!!
