"claim_text": "First-personality must be decomposed into at least five distinct senses: P_S (sensorimotor perspectivity — information organized from here), P_G (phenomenal givenness — the state is manifest), P_A (affective concern — the state matters relative to this organism), P_O (ownership — the state is intrinsically mine), P_I (autobiographical identification — the state is attributed to this represented person). The inferential order is NOT P_S = P_G = P_A = P_O = P_I. Rather: P_S ⇏ P_G ⇏ P_A ⇏ P_O ⇏ P_I. A system can be functionally centred without being conscious (P_S without P_G). A conscious state may be manifest without representing an ego (P_G without P_O). A valenced state may contribute to constructing ownership rather than presupposing an owner (P_A contributes to P_O, not the reverse). This decomposition pressures any theory that moves too quickly from 'experience has a perspective' to 'experience has an owner.'",

"claim_text": "Ñāṇananda's analysis permits a construction model: nimitta (selected sign) → vedanā (feeling) → valuation → appropriation → self-involving proliferation (papañca). Modern interoceptive predictive accounts converge: predictions about the body's internal state generate affect, which grounds mineness. The resulting loop is: organismic concern → self-relative valuation → operative centre → further self-relative valuation. This explains affective and functional ownership better than it explains manifestness. It does not establish why the valuation loop is experienced.
