In terms of how the brain becomes mind, it’s sometimes thought that the mind is like software running on the brain’s hardware.
But why would there exist something such as déjà vu?
Another way to frame the question might be, what actually separates memory and present experience, at the physical layer?
But, does that question have meaning? Say with the OSI networking model: HTTP is layer 7, TCP is layer 4, and the properties in each of those layers don’t have any meaning at other levels of abstraction.
So, maybe, the brain and mind could be similar. Could it be possible that some things do not have a neural correlate, that they only exist at a certain layer?
