Solipsism has always been formally and logically intractable.
Please stand and deliver on your own falacious claims
We can not even be sure how memory works in the brain.
Your claims are patently "perpetual-motion(esque)"

I did not do a work on solipsism. I use actual neuroscience evidence to
reveal inconsistencies in our behaviour as scientists. I could have
based it on realism. The result would have been the same. I even mixed
the 2 'isms in the paper and explained that very thing! The result is
the same. The philosophical 'isms were only used as a plot device for a
largely philosophical audience. So they'd get it. I even said that in
the paper.
Real practical implication arise. Choices by real working scientists
scientists about what they use as evidence and what they can construct
with what evidence exists. It's all based on empirical fact, which is
all in the paper. Look it up, read it all get the point of the paper
then contest the claims made in the paper, which are not about any
philosophical 'ism being any sort of truth. The point is the
inconsistency - discussed at length in the paper. Jeeze...! If we act
'as-if' X is true here..and then false there, we have a case to
answer...and that's exactly what scientists do....and I showed the
inconsistency source in the figure with evidence! Mind-Brain identity
and XYZ interpretation of QM. The conclusion is that (a) there is
inconsistency to answer and that (b) scientists need to do self review.
Nothing else. I don;t give a stuff about 'isms, they are not the point.
Everything you need is in the paper. I made a very specific claim about
the real behaviour of real working scientists everywhere, all about the
epistemic options of real working scientists. It is a work of empirical
metascience with the actual evidence _*built into the work*_. I don't
have to supply a thing. Think I'm stupid enough not to put the evidence
in the paper? If this is all that's going to come of it then let's leave
it all right there. In fact, lets just do that anyway. Save us both the
trouble! :-)
