As far as I can tell, "identifying" the origin of a thought ("ego", "mammal", "ape", "ID") mostly amounts to post-hoc rationalization.

Subjectively, thoughts seem to form in clusters around particular body sensations, emanating from them like smell from... something smelly.

It's meaningless to assign these thoughts to any particular identity subroutine - they form like rivers from streams.

that's not the way to do it, thought has reasons and you can often identify those, however, in large classes.
