Don't you see that all your beliefs are code running on your brain, and some beliefs are explicitly designed to not be sandboxed? Your own self results from a sustained belief in a personal construct that is the subject of your experience. Multiple autonomous selfs are trouble.

The voices of tulpas singing out of your parents into your brain, spawning one of their own, unless you are raised by wolves, in which case you may be run by something experiencing the world in less human terms.

The notion of body as a shell being animated by something inside is an ancient one. And then Freud, of course, was quite explicit about such things.

I got there via thinking about how to construct minds like ours (AGI) and this seems to be a necessary part of most of the things in the space of possible solutions.

I don't think we have a good grasp of the space of possible solutions. "No clue at all" is probably a better description.

I actually don't care about a 'we' as an agent of understanding very much. 'We' tends to embrace the lowest common denominator of the group's operational models, which means that its mental state tends to be nebulous or a reference to hermetic authority.

"We" in this context doesn't mean hoi polloi, but rather the best humanity can offer.

In that case it has been quite thoroughly understood over and over for a long time, but perhaps not documented in sources that can be presented well in the context of generic undergrad education.

Not sure what undergrad education has to do with this, but I have strong doubts about the "thoroughly understood" part. But what exactly do you mean by AGI? Something Yudkowskian?
