      Non-locality is easy to explain. Much harder to explain: locality. Locality is just way more familiar.

      In the same way, I wonder if multiple personality disorder is not more obvious to explain than having a single, unified personality. That seems to be harder to achieve for a brain.

          I suspect that cells are more complicated than anything else we know. Quite certainly a lot more complicated than brains.

          Nah, we simply cannot exist in parts of the universe that are entirely symmetrical. And neither in parts that have no symmetries. The question is now what produces the symmetries, and in such a way that they can be broken.

          No, I have not. But I agree that every cell contains a computer that works quite literally like a Turing machine. However, it is slow, does not implement complex learning algorithms, and it does not interface to the same world same organism.

          Brains predict and learn by minimizing surprise, that is better as a global function.

          Yes. We are not our brains, however. We are not conscious of all the things that don't surprise us any more. Not even of those where the surprise minimization works automatically, i.e. approximately optimal.

          Consciousness might be an amalgamation of multiple personalities, with the unified personality we perceive as just thin veneer atop of it (think of 'I' as a blurry high-order filter function). The fact that dissociative identity disorders can be induced might indicate as much.

          Multiple personalities require more localities.

          It if probably about memory protocols that are not integrated and hence don’t know each other.
