Thomas Metzinger – The Self as a Model

Source: Being No One (2003); The Ego Tunnel (2009)

Summary: The self is a user illusion—constructed for coherence and control.

Resonance with PET: PET agrees the self is a process, not a fixed entity.

Divergence: PET treats the model as real if it sustains itself. Illusion or not, it matters if it persists.
