This is how I think humans work. We have 5 or 8 versions of us running around in our skulls or whatever and one of them is somewhat of a supervisor.

- huffmsa 3y agoI personally visualize them at a table from time to time.
- suriya-ganesh 3y agoAnd et voila, you have the script of inside out. \s But honestly I do think this is how we operate. Depending on our state of metabolism and other psychological factors, the dominant version changes but as a whole we remain the sum total of all these versions.
- bamboozled 3y agoSo there is a number, let's say 42, 42 versions of us running in parallel make consciousness, reasoning and all other useful abilities appear?
- suriya-ganesh 3y agoMore like a number within Miller's law[1]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%27s_law#:~:text=The%20observation%2C%20also%20by%20George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%27s_law#:~:text=The%20o...
- xnx 3y agoMulti Homunculus Model
- piloto_ciego 3y agoI was thinking something like Julian Jayne’s Bicameral mind, but you’re always arguing with yourself lol
- exe34 3y agoSounds like dennett's multiple drafts hypothesis.
- Trasmatta 3y agoI think it's way more than 8 even. And it's common to have many working as supervisors, often at conflict with each other. And some act out the automatic trauma responses, as they're stuck in the past when the trauma occurred.
- piloto_ciego 3y agoRight it’s like a random forest or something maybe.
- champdebloom 3y agoThis sounds very much like the internal family systems model: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Family_Systems_Model https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Family_Systems_Mode...

- nickpsecurity 3y agoWe have tons of specialized components that work together cooperatively and competitively. There’s multiple ways they connect. There also seems to be global processes that happen, like during sleep. There’s over 3,000 cell types per the BRAIN initiative. Every brain forms on it’s own taking shape like something out of a Transformers movie. God’s design is mostly nothing like man’s neural networks. It’s far superior. Brains are also what’s creating all the artificial, neural nets on top of all math, tech, and economic systems that they run on. AI’s got a lot of catching up to do.
- hackable_sand 3y agoMaybe. I'm sure one's consciousness corresponds with one's guiding philosophy. I don't think this supervisor model is generally applicable to people with EFD or some forms of Autism, for example.
