@Abvieon {Alex} I don't conceive of things in that way. There's nothing in the mind that observes and experiences because my body is conscious. I am my body and only my body because the body includes all biochemical processes that give rise to "thought"

@Jas nothing is internal, everything is biochemical.

what I think is physical, just uninterpretable to other humans because they can't "read" biochemical processes.
Sure? I mean, as far as we can care, but when I mean "internal" I mean just the existence of perception takes place in more of an abstract signal internal to what is normally considered the brain.
Signal, set of signals, chaotic yet orderly patterns of electrical pulses, and all the fun neurotransmitters, those all cooperate to produce everything that a person experiences
[Well, we just disagree with what we are. Assuming an overarching consciousness I am not this consciousness. I am the subset software that defines me or the mind.]
Right, but all I need to know is that "unconscious" to you doesn't mean one is literally lacking "consciousness" in terms of how you are using it, right? That way, breathing, unconscious tasks, are all considered in the scope of consciousness.
Okay, that's good. You mean unconscious as a word to apply to things which could otherwise be conscious in a different physical state, right? Like they would wake up, hopefully.

I'm fine with that, thank you. I can better understand what you mean now.
[Of course that brings the problem of a singlet being able to have multiple identities without them being experientially different beings. Since there is a difference between a singlets different "identity" and a tulpa in that regard.]
Silina, I would argue that is mutually exclusive to the singlet, as in the general case a person's core sense of "identity" is the things they themselves cannot violate without a sensation of discomfort associated with being 'not themselves'

If a person truly exhibits multiple identities, they wouldn't be a singlet. If they exhibit what appear to be multiple identities while claiming singlethood, then the core of the person is preserved across identities and simply means the person's identity is flexible enough to vary wildly depending on desires or the situation.
One person can have multiple "identities", or different mindsets - for example, most people act differently around different people, sometimes to the point of seeming like completely different people in different situations. Still, this is vastly different from the experience of having a tulpa, in which a person can talk to a voice in their head that exists simultaneously alongside them
I know what you mean. I was made in the context of a host with an identity light enough to serve vastly different contexts, although he was very conscious of this in a way that probably indicates he isn't socialized well.
