The self-prior is functionally analogous to the body schema: it captures cross-modal associations and directly guides action planning toward multisensory mismatch reduction

Integrating the tactile modality into the self-prior model may improve learning efficiency for mirror self-recognitionhypothesis0.781
Forward-looking prediction based on Chinn et al.'s finding that tactile experience promotes earlier MSR in infants
"the self-prior can serve as an internal criterion for the mark-directed behavior observed in the mirror test, offering a computational basis for investigating the developmental origins of self-awareness"quote0.769
Load-bearing summary of the paper's central contribution
The mirror-of-the-self test helps observers escape subjective preference and learn to see the objective life in things.claim0.761
Describes the transformative potential of the test.
Self-evidencing is not only unimpaired but improved after emptiness realisation, as the pruned model is more parsimonious without loss of accuracyclaim0.758
Addresses the concern that emptiness realisation might undermine adaptive functioning
We may then arrive at a picture of the world which includes the self, and which clearly recognizes the personal nature of the universe.claim0.756
The outcome of using both methods together.
Kohda et al. 2022: Further evidence for mirror self-recognition in cleaner fish (PLOS Biology)concept0.754
Reported cleaner fish passing mark test with ecologically relevant marks; contested by Gallup
Performing the mirror-of-the-self test gradually brings the observer closer to contact with the original mind.claim0.754
The reciprocal effect: doing the test deepens self-knowledge and judgment.
Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.751
Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
