I don't know if this is good or bad, but i hear that you haven't just heard about mirror neurons, that this is a relatively consciously made up construct, a construct with intent or purpose. Also it sounds strange when you say that this neurological mechanism is strange (to you). That's where my "parallel mirror neurons" come into play, i compare what you say with what i have heard you saying before and add the info as well as my judgement on what you say to my internal "Virtualization" of you. The leap is more of a constant exercise of differentiating between you and me while operating on the virtualization of each participant, so to speak. Does that somehow make sense to you?
Of course, I could go back to the group website and search for the real data on what you have been saying on neurological mechanisms. But this would be a completely new project. I'd have to go back and construct a new image with my knowledge of now. But since you are still alive and still communicating, I find it much easier and more purposeful to keep on listening to what you say, to respond to it, and to rely on you saying, if you disagree. Not a good position for me to be in, more of a survival strategy. Now that's worth a leap into rethinking mode. ;) 2013/3/20 James <[email protected]> > My response was mostly a parallel narrative, my thinking on a personal > level is when does a system of components transcend the boudaries of > automata and begin to engage in the operations of intent.
