4/4 One criticism of their paper: they repeat the problematic idea that REM sleep dreaming is a functionally disembodied state, but Jenny Windt has shown this doesn't work (they don't cite her, alas)…https://mitpress.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.7551/mitpress/9780262028677.001.0001/upso-9780262028677-chapter-8 …

Not having had time to read it in full, but... this is an interesting idea to explore in connection with certain meditative achievements (e.g. cessations)?
-
I have a strong suspicion that cessation experiences preserve *minimal* embodiment (this is part of what lies behind claims about the ālayavijñāna and bhavaṅga, right?), but I would love to see anything any of you know on attempts to explore this!

But what becomes of active inference as the foundational mechanism of consciousness when the *active* component is removed? Maybe the sensor/effector circularity of homeostatic/endocrine processes is still sufficient for a minimal level of consciousness?
