i'll try to explain what i mean by "weakly plural" since i don't really know the name for what i'm experiencing
the short summary is: the way my mind works internally is that my mind has (roughly) two parts:
- an emotional center
- a rational center
if i'm going to talk more about this i might as well share the names of my two halves
luna = emotional center
lucina = rational center
one of my favorite tricks i've adopted recently is to use different capitalization, grammar, and punctuation, when the two halves are speaking. My rational center speaks with perfect capitalization, punctuation, and grammar (formal style). on the other hand my emotional center drops all of that (informal style)
one of the things that clued me into the fact that my mind was set up sort of like a large language model was when i started noticing this distinction between the two communication styles show up in my private notes. i'd notice that many thoughts would begin in the informal style (the "prompt" from my intuitive emotional center) and then continue with formal style shortly thereafter as I completed the thought (the "elaboration" from my rational center). I began to recognize that my emotional center was actually generating prompts for my rational center which (like an LLM) would elaborate upon and complete those thoughts.
