Field notes
The page defines five terms—inside, outside, self-explanation, consciousness, and sleep—then says each is a claim tested by the experiments. Its central reversal treats the body’s hunger, cold, tiredness, or racing heart as unnamed states, with sights, sounds, and smells supplying the dictionary. The author explicitly rejects digestion as a model of mind, calling it a model of the digestive system.
