Ben Jones—yes, I’m saying there’s just lots of territory. I think it’s useful to understanding minds, because (if correct) it means they don’t work by making an internal mirror of reality to study, but rather they just “latch on” to actual reality at a certain point. The role of the brain in that case would not be to “hold” the internal mirror copy, but to manipulate reality to make it amenable to latching.
