I agree that the somatosensory cortex [in the case of arm movements, actually mostly the parietal cortex, but also somewhat the somatosensory] needs to be getting information from the motor cortex [actually mostly the DLPFC, but also somewhat the motor] about what to expect the arm to do!
This necessary predictive-processing “attenuate your sensory input!” feedback signal, could be framed as “A [C]”, such that “weak A [C]” might start giving you hallucinations.
However, in order for the somatosensory cortex to notice a prediction error and start hallucinating, it has to be receiving a stronger [let’s say “D”] signal, from the arm, signifying that the arm is moving, than the “weak A [C]” signal signifiying that we moved the arm.
I don’t think your theory predicts this or accounts for this anyhow?
My “Q/P” theory does.
[ “B” in your theory maps to my “quasi-volition”, ie anterior cortex, or top-down cortical infrastructure.
Every other letter in your theory—the “A”, “C”, and “D”—all map to my “perception”, ie posterior cortex, or bottom-up cortical infrastructure. ]
