Exploring the Phenomenal Self and Reflective Self-Awareness

This chapter delves into intricate discussions on self-models, cognitive processes, and active inference within consciousness. The concept of reflective self-awareness as a form of epistemic foraging is explored, particularly in the context of flow states. The conversation navigates through the complexity of phenomenal self-models, reflecting on the interplay between inner and outer processes, distinctions in bodily self-models, and the perspectival nature of complex self-models.
