Brain model and identity

I have finally figured out that we should take mirror neurons seriously. Here is a brain model, unconventional for sure, but aggressively considering the symmetry inherent to the brain's wiring.

Elementary brain modules (each line corresponds to one single module):

- See/Be seen
- Hear/Be heard
- Feel/Be felt
- Touch/Be touched
- Manipulate/Be manipulated
- Smell/Be smelled
- Taste/Be tasted
- And so on

Composite brain modules

- Relate brain modules, a few at a time
- Relate brain modules, all at once

Then all it takes to make an individual is identity, indistinguishable from consciousness.
