TL;DR
This paper proposes a model of mind that explains how consciousness arises from passive, unfree mental processes, challenging common intuitions about mental activity.
Contribution
It introduces a novel model of behavior and perception emphasizing the passive nature of mental processes and clarifies the emergence of consciousness.
Findings
Mental processes are inherently unfree and passive.
Consciousness arises from specific passive mental mechanisms.
Intuitions about active mental control are misleading.
Abstract
Recognizing that all mental processes have to be unfree and passive, we develop a model of behavior and perceptions. We shall see how misleading our intuition is and shall understand how consciousness arises.
