Preliminary concepts...

Our two dimensional sensory patterns become bound together by an inner belief in a 3d reality trained by the external consistency of cause and effect.

This binding creates the 'belief' in form and behavior (space and time).

The binding of the 2d muscle and sensory patterns continues beyond simulating the current 3d form and behavior, into linking many forms and behaviors to the same sensorimotor 'space'.

Thus a 4th dimensional simulation is able to 'rise above' and 'perceive' or witness our beliefs in simulated 3d space and time below. The same way a 2d picture can be 'witnessed' from the higher dimensional perspective of the 3rd dimension.

Our genes pre-install into our minds 'ideal' forms and behaviors as 4th dimensional 'points of view' ready to interpret the simulated 3d realities derived from our external environment. These genetic preferences are our personal aesthetics.

We first discover form and behavior through consistent exposure to cause and effect in the outside world. And then we discover we have pre-installed aesthetics, which are 'measured' against our thoughts to generate our emotions.

And our emotions drive our will to think and to act.

Emotion itself remains an unknown phenomenon somehow linking matter and information. The belief in emotion is essential to both consciousness and survival.

What we feel does not necessarily represent truth, it only represents what we were programmed to feel by our genetics.

A process known as 'ego' separates our 'self' or 4th dimensional witness platform from our 3d environment, and claims a god like 'ownership' and 'authorship' of the process below.

The process of the ego

Thoughts arise from the subconscious as points of view (polarizations of all that we know) generally triggered by environmental sensory events.

These thoughts are compared to our aesthetics to generate emotion. The emotion guides the subsequent procession of our thoughts and our consequent actions.

Our thoughts are constrained by our wisdom, which is constrained by our limits of accuracy and depth in simulating 3d space and time.

Emotions help us discover truth only as a byproduct of seeking out bliss and avoiding pain. Truth is a tool that helps link cause and effect that leads emotion to where it wants to go.
