Finally translated my thoughts about tulpa conciousness

Your theory in a nutshell

 

Your personality is a component in a circuit

Your tulpa is another component

Whether which activates depends on which one the brain supplies electrical current to.

 

Am I right or am I miles from correct?

 

Essentially this is right way of understanding, yeah.

 

That doesn't seem too far from our general hypotheses about the underlying processes behind tulpas, but then again, like psychoanalysis, it's fairly pointless, seeing as we don't know how consciousness arises from the firing neurons in our brains, much less how tulpas work inside it. In fact, with outr current methods, technology, and understanding of the brain, we can't know how tulpas work. It's fun to hypothesize, but it doesn't really amount to anything outside of convincing us that our tulpas should and shouldn't be able to do certain things like memory recall, dream intervention, alarm-clocking, whatever Oguigi did to give Koomer a dopamine shot, or anything else, which would make it more likely for those things to occur, due to how much belief influences a tulpa's abilities.

Pardon the excessively long sentence; it should be legible enough.

[Kevin says: Interesting read. However, the brain is far different to an analog computer; and far different again to a digital computer.]

This is certainly an interesting hypothesis on the neurological basis of tulpae, though it would be difficult to test it empirically.

But it's all the same in the end: Two people, one brain.

 

Right?

Right, but...

Essentially my post was intended to solve some problems with the term "parroting". The idea was to make a point that rejecting any responses that feel like you is impractical, and according to the theory it actually is. This is what "clearing the process of making a belief" is.

In fact, with outr current methods, technology, and understanding of the brain, we can't know how tulpas work.

But we can assume how they don't work. For example, being a magical souls from another planet or personalities that "live" in our liver, not brain. Or, according to the common understanding of brain's structure, alternative conciousness processes.

the brain is far different to an analog computer; and far different again to a digital computer.

I agree. Analogies with computers should be made with caution.

This is certainly an interesting hypothesis on the neurological basis of tulpae, though it would be difficult to test it empirically.

Yeah, but I have some empirical examples described in the text and here in thread. The easy one is calculation. I noticed that tulpas usually deny our requests to calculate something; the problem is that calculation is something that takes some time even for fast-thinking. So we can really easily notice it, feel in our brain. Thus we unconciusly try to make them declining calculation so we couldn't have chance to notice that thinking is one process for both of us. This is a part of protection mechanism.
