If you arrange beliefs on a spectrum from upper level to lower level, like from "this economic policy is superior" down to "my friends like me" down to "I can walk" down to "object permanence" etc.., what is the lowest belief you can identify holding?

Also probably worth asking what your definition of "belief" is

musing: at low levels, belief is indistinguishable from perception. But perception systems aren't unified, you can know something is an illusion but be still fooled by senses.

Most base levels of perception I can think of include thingness, space, attention. Awareness / consciousness aren't beliefs, they are substrate and just are.
