I’m going to wait for your thoughts on what would falsify your theory, because if it’s a real effort, I’ll be more inclined to put in the work you are requesting.
“Irrelevant” was the wrong word re images; sorry to have sent you down a rabbit hole—I should have said, “not obviously necessary to the point being made and/or unaccompanied by some explanation of why I should learn about what’s in the image”. I’d look at an image, read your text on either side of it, and have no idea why you were including it.
If you are genuinely willing to give some thought to Base-Line theory then spend some time thinking about the anatomy, finding the muscles on your body and breathing with your Base-Line.
Lie on the floor and take a few deep breaths. Touch your pubic symphysis, navel and xiphoid process in turn. Imagine the line (the linea alba) that joins them extending as you breathe. Close your eyes and focus on the sensory information your body is providing. Give that a go. More than once.
Why? How many times, for how long? What evidence do you expect this practice to give me in support of your theory? If I don’t feel anything, will you count that as evidence against your theory, or will you explain it as somehow supporting your theory, like Freud would claim that a patient was in denial if they claimed not to have some desire that his theory predicted that they would have?

I can answer each of those questions if you want me to. I am willing to spend the time if you ask but what value are my words to you?
I am offering you a map.
If you want to explore your territory it is up to you.
I will still be back with the big question of anti-theory evidence.
I would be very interested in your prior regarding me passing this test. Even if you don’t want to share, pick a number now. ; )
I’m finding it a valuable exercise, so thank you for the interaction.
