my model of dissociation is that it's when we move our awareness out of the body of the Self to somewhere else in our simulacrum, usually somewhere more comfy... moving our attention away from pain w the side effect of making it difficult to pilot our body https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1806467179719848094

an important aspect is which objects in our environment we choose to model as Minds with their own interiority, goals & preferences & intentions. edge cases include coma patients, animals, hallucinations / memories / demons, complex systems like Gaia or the Market, and now AIs https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1889782481278345545

Quoted mimi

when we meet someone we observe their appearance & behavior to infer their agent strategy, start running them in simulation, predicting their reactions as part of choosing our own social moves, playfully interacting to ground and validate the new subentity living in our mind
