This matches my hypothesis on Deja vu https://kemendo.com/Deja-Vu-Experiment.html https://kemendo.com/Deja-Vu-Experiment.html I think it also supports my three loops hypothesis as well: https://kemendo.com/ThreeLoops.html https://kemendo.com/ThreeLoops.html In effect, my position is that biological systems maintain a synchronized processing pipeline: where the hippocampal prediction system operates slightly “ahead” of sensory processing, like a cache buffer. If the processing gets “behind” the sensory input then you feel like you’re accessing memory because the electrical signal is reaching memory and sensory distribution simultaneously or slightly lagging. So it means you’re constantly switching between your world map and the input and comparing them just to stabilize a “linear” experience - something which is a necessity for corporeal prediction and reaction.

Your work seems pretty good to me, have you seen Steven Byrne's blog theorising about symbol grounding in the brain?

  No I havent, I’ll have to look it up, thanks for the recommendation.

VR cannot be essential to decoding the brain as it deals in topological maps and affinities.

I think we should be careful about materialistic reductions of awareness. Because some rats dreamed detours that ended up being correct in waking rat life, it does not follow that all instances of deja vu are misfirings. It's a tempting connection to draw, but it does not actually explain how the detours were dreamt to begin with, and this points to a deeper question about awareness in general. If I were pressed for an analogy, I might say something like "just because all books have ink does not mean that all ink lives in books." You know what I mean? There's a superset of experiences that cannot be easily explained away by caching, as tempting as it might be.

  Materialistic reduction has gotten us quite far in science.

    Not exactly. We don't know where optic-flow reactions that integrate senses, emotions, motor systems in the slightest. Study neural reuse or coordination dynamics. Some relationship between the brain and the world that isn't easily found in the brain alone is responsible.

    It's also arrested our development. It's like a skill we've got comfortable with and now we arent willing to go further.

  Materialistic interpretations of the world around us are quite literally the only useful ones. If we didn't do that we'd be sleeping in caves and hitting each other with heavy rocks.

    Wrong. Materialistic only got us to a level. Now we're looking past materialism in neural reuse, coordination dynamics and ecological psychology and neurobiology. The causes are out there in contradictory correlations.

      Literally everything is materialist. If it's not it either A) doesn't actually exist or B) you just don't understand it yet. It's inherent to the meaning of the word.

Very interesting, will have a read in depth. Wondering if you have any ideas on this, which can be quite jarring when it happens? You are thinking about something, and then walk through a doorway into another room and suddenly completely lose track of what you were thinking. The closest idea I've seen for that is: Jeff Hawkins in his Thousand Brain Theory of Intelligence made a statement that learning is a function of navigation and the world models we construct are set in the context of location we create them. -------- Edit: Just read your piece on Faith: "Faith, as it’s traditionally understood, is trivial bullshit compared to the towering, unseen faith we place in the empirical all day everyday." Absolutely correct, and the traditional understanding of Hebrews 11:1 I don't believe reflects what the author (supposedly Paul) was trying to convey. Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων πίστις: Pistis can be translated as confidence, as in: I'm confident this chair won't collapse when I sit on on it. Much stronger than belief or faith. ὑπόστασις: Hupostasis is also a much stronger word than assurance, it conveys substance, as in your past experience backs up your confidence.
