Different kind of body
More actions
A different kind of body means any thing other than what is producing the consciousness or appears to be producing the consciousness that the individual is experiencing. For most humans, they experience having a human like body. Since the kind of body we experience is based on the sensepath that we experience, if you change the sensepath in the right ways you can change the type of body one experiences having. For example, the sensepath could be modified so what you see is chicken's body and what you feel and control seems like a chickens body. It will not be what a chicken experiences because the chicken has a different brain and processes the incoming sensepath differently. One might complain that a chicken could not hold a human brain and still look like a chicken so you could never experience having a chicken's body. But the brain does not have to be in the body of the life form that you are experiencing being in, the sensepath that you are experiencing can be completely artificial and fed directly into the brain or modified and then directed into the brain to produce the desired experiences. There are likely numerous different sensepaths that will give a conscious being the feelings and or beliefs of having a chickens body. Since a chicken is not special, sensepaths could be created to make a person feel he has any animals body and not a human body. You could experience having a bat's, bird's, dinosaur's, whale's, fish's, cow's, pig's, etc., body in many different ways. These are some of the potential awarepaths that you can experience if they are ever made actual by producing the corresponding physapaths or neuropaths.
