Externality is not detectable outside of consciousness.

Every force is detectable only through consciousness. There is no force outside of consciousness, no "charge" or "field". All of it is feeling and somewhat intentional effect. No matter how many times I say it, how many metaphors I use, you will never be able to see that the director of a movie need not be present within the movie projector to cause the movie to occur. Your view of the universe has no room for you to exist in it. It has no discernment between life and death, person or object. You would need a massive brain event to interrupt your left hemisphere long enough to guess that there is a whole other half of the universe that you are missing. > In experiments, that would > look like a magical or supernatural effect.
