I don't know about your Confirmation homunculus, but you mentioned migraines.   
Another diagnosis?  Could the homunculus be a real *thing*?

    I knew it! 8^) I would, naturally, extrapolate (or is it interpolate?) from 
big systems-level scales down to smaller (but still big, my Confirmation 
homunculus argues) scales like that of individual organisms. So, here I am 
thinking a person can be foxy about their own narrativity and you pop out of 
the horse and hit me with the fact that in the article, the reflective agents 
are small and many, providing a parallax onto the systemic attributes being 
estimated. But in an individual organism, the reflective agent is on the same 
scale as the attributes being estimated.
    
    Thanks for doing that now instead of waiting a few months so that I'd have 
forgotten about accepting that lovely wooden horse.

it is true by construction that breadth is needed.
