In the most-common usage, it is -- because there's always the 'pre- sumption' of "false-seeing". | The major difference is what the | individual does as a consequence | of the experience and, of course, the | general value of the outcome. | | Kal When "the brain" constructs a "model", the neural activation inherent literally drives the production of microscopic trophic modifications to neuron and glia structure and conformation. Subsequently, these "micro-mods" literally exist as "biological mass" that enables 'the' nervous system to "operate" upon them in ways that are exactly-analogous to the way =all= "mass" is operated-upon in physical reality. It's how and why what one experiences literally matters [use "matters" as a verb.] Which is why your comments are not only offensive, but Dangerous. You are trying to 'force' that which will enter into others experience -- in order to 'validate' what =you= have experienced. Such is unacceptable. k. p. collins
