an experiment · a 1619 map of the mind and a real brain
Where does your thought go?
I keep wondering how a thought actually gets built. So ask something about your mind: how you think, why you dream, why a coincidence can feel like a message. Then watch a real brain work it through, region by region, with what science knows and what the old maps of the mind guessed.
It's a map of meaning, not a scan of you, and your question isn't stored. It only travels in the link if you share it. The old map is Robert Fludd's, and I wrote about it in this essay.
