Can value exist independently of minds? @Plinzhttps://tmblr.co/ZdBr1y2hpsc_e

Without a function that determines relevance, the functions that the mind generates will appear as meaningless patterns (even if they are highly structured). Even if you define motivation as outside of the mind (limbic vs cerebral) reward signals will only become values within it

If you think that because you experience motivation as upstream from your mind, values must be part of its physical or otherwise functional substrate, you are probably confused about the nature of functional substrates, and check how you constructed that model.

I don't think that there is any simulation going on because the expectation of a simulation is smuggled in from our experience of different experiences of realism. Physics has no reason to simulate.
