The absence of self-pain might prevent premature or disruptive self-awareness, preserving a developmental or functional "path to consciousness". Pain is not just nociception but a conscious, subjective experience involving emotional valence, processed and interpreted by the brain. Without intra-brain pain receptors, the organ orchestrating all sensory integration and awareness avoids turning its own integrity checks into constant self-referential loops that could interfere with unified, outward-directed cognition.
