@heisenbison @anilkseth It's just that your senses haven't yet corrected the prediction (Germany winning) made by your brain 😅

@bnielson01 Genetics is still a largely blurry landscape. No 1-2-1 correspondence between genes and phenotypes, let alone behaviors. They'll say it's noisy, stochastic and complex. Even when a single dominant gene is found causative of a trait, it's just not always expressed (↓penetrance).

@stevenstrogatz I'm a mathematically-challenged biologist who thinks he could do much better with some math literacy🥲I've been using AI to formulate some ideas mathematically but I doubt its soundness. If AI really lowers the barrier to entry, then,I hope, I shouldn't be missing much after all.

From planaria to minds: a Popperian conjecture awaiting refutation. Not just another society of minds theory.

@NikoMcCarty @AsimovPress Thank you! You've been such an inspiration 👏🏻

@drmichaellevin 12/12: If SSC resonates, RT/share. More conjectures brewing—follow for updates. What problem would your mind split for? 👀 #Bioelectricity #CognitiveScience

1/12 Ever wonder why "aha!" moments feel like they pop from nowhere? Or why therapy sometimes clicks while meds don't?Introducing the Splitting Self Conjecture (SSC): Your mind splits into sub-selves to tackle life's puzzles—like a worm regenerating. Mad? Thread 👇

@drmichaellevin 6/12: Example: Math exam. Problem hits—Math Solver sub-self takes "Supervisor" role, watches Exam-Taker sub-self grind. You "see" the steps... then BAM! Solution pops. That's Supervisor's hidden output. Explains aha! moments perfectly. 💡 What was your last aha?

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@drmichaellevin 11/12: SSC is Popperian—falsifiable, explanatory across neuroscience, psych, ageing, AI. Life persists by splitting. Your mind too.

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@drmichaellevin 10/12: AI angle: LLMs are "five degrees" from reality—simulated, not embodied. But SSC-inspired agents could split/evolve like us. Build a "planarian engine" for adaptive AI? Game-changer.

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@drmichaellevin 9/12: Ageing? Lifetime sub-selves overload the system + hardware decay = senility. Anaesthesia? Global bioelectric shutdown severs sub-self ties. Even explains animal vs. human minds: We trade primal power for abstract sub-selves.

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@drmichaellevin 8/12: Therapy fits: CBT "retrains" the algorithm (software fix). Meds inhibit faulty sub-selves. ECT? Hardware demolition—zaps columns to weaken bad ones. SSC unifies psych treatments!

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@drmichaellevin 7/12: Selection? Relevance Realization Algorithm (shoutout @vervaeke_john) picks the best sub-self via weights. Like a referee in a mind game. Wrong pick? Mental illness (e.g., Sadness sub-self dominates in depression).

@chris_percy 6/6
5) Grounding blocks arbitrariness
Sub-selves stay grounded in low-degree sensory entanglement with real persistence problems; high detachment (purely statistical AI) breaks grounding. Proper influences preserve grounding—so weird/unembodied realizations are irrelevant.

[طه القبرون @TahaElGabroun]

@chris_percy 5/6
4) Internal referee
Relevance realisation is endogenous/embodied: sub-selves compete and are selected internally. Proper influences permit internal selection; influences that steer/override the system violate autonomy and are excluded.
