Interesting stuff. I often wonder if all humans are just a little schizophrenic, and only when the condition develops do things like auditory hallucinations occur. One model might be several different people running around in a maze, only able to communicate with each other by shouting over the walls. The brain is the maze, but the fractioning of the individual's identity (internal schizms) is what creates the internal illusion of disassociated individuals. This might even develop into neural schizms, different parts of the brain not actually being able to communicate well with other parts of the brain. I don't know if that model is even vaguely correct, but it would explain auditory hallucinations, as one part of the brain might only be able to communicate with another by utilizing the auditory channel. Here's an interesting 1993 paper on the subject, lays out the background: Diagnosis and Classification of Schizophrenia available via title search at: https://scholar.archive.org/ https://scholar.archive.org/
