I think we know that established types of self-perception (proprio-, entero-) consist of one sub-component monitoring another sub-component. It's not clear to me whether you intend to address that part-whole aspect of self-perception or not. But if you don't address it, *I* won't be satisfied with whatever you write. 8^)<o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><p>Indulging in a "pre-buttal", are we? ;^)<o:p></o:p></p><p>- <span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>⏰</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
