The brain constructs its experience through predictions, using motor signals as collateral branches to predict sensations.

“it's like literally you have axons that are sending motor signals down the the you know brain stem to the spinal cord and literal copies of those axons like those axons have branches that collateral branches that just send axons other places the same signal that is being sent sent to your spinal cord to move stuff in your body that same signal is being sent to other neurons in the brain as predictions of the sensations that are going to happen in a second from now a moment from now”
