      It seems to me, @evantthompson, that the essential structures of consciousness disclosed by Husserl's epoche are those truths invariant under the simulation hypothesis. Contemplating SH also seems closely related to daytime dream yoga practices. Am I misguided?

      The simulation hypothesis is a metaphysical conjecture; the epoché is the suspension of asserting/positing/conjecturing [1]

      The epoché is a step to the transcendental reduction, which treats being as phenomenon (appearance), not as positable objectivity [2]

      From a transcendental perspective, we'd have to ask what the conditions of intelligibility for the SH are [3]

      But the SH appears to posit a reality in itself outside of what can be disclosed in the life-world, which for transcendental phenomenologists isn't an intelligible idea [4]

      Dream yoga practices are about realizing the mind-dependence of phenomena and the intrinsic nature of awareness [5]

      This is different from contemplating a metaphysical hypothesis about how reality is outside the mind [6]

          So, for these reasons, I don't think the SH helps with understanding consciousness either via the epoché or dream yoga

          I was thinking of "simulation" as a "modern" addition to Longchenpa's 8 similes of illusion, thus useful in dream yoga. True, as stated SH is metaphysics, but I was using it as a means to clarifying epoche as "...being as phenomenon (appearance)."
