I agree that we concluded that the brain lacks a central authority for all the actions that the brain produces. However, we said that the Cerebellum acts as a comparator for reafferent loops and the Motor Cortex turns off older patterns so new ones can develop. So there isn't a central authority there are relative rankings of importance. I think this relative ranking is important when contrasted with the I function. We can use the I function to change the set point temporarily, as in the case with a person on the diet, but never permanently. I think it is bizarre that if one realizes that something pre-set, the fact that knowing it isn't enough to reset it the set point. I mean if the I function uses reafferent loops and corollary discharge to learn, then why can't the leap from unconsciously re-setting the set point to consciously re-setting it be made. What is standing in the way?
