Eight General Questions:
1. Are doyle memories or doyles - self-aware entities in any sense?
I like "doylmems" for short since I type it a lot. More informative than the word "doyle". No, they are not self-aware entities, but they reside inside of a self-aware entity. Do entities outside of the human kingdom, animals, for example, have doylmems? I think so, but have no research data to point to. Would make a great dissertation study.2. Is there a qualitative difference between the motor-doyle and the other type of doyles?
I used motor-doyles to refer to operations with one's limbs and digits. Children who learn a lot of motor doyles before five will have more manual dexterity than those who don't. Most doyles, btw, affect muscle groups, but certain internal doyles have to do only with the homeostasis of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach, kidneys, etc, and do not affect directly what we normally call muscles.3. Is there a difference between a feeling and a doyle?
A feeling can stem from an instantaneous physiological response (pain when someone pulls your hair) or a feeling can stem from a triggered doyle (you get upset and yell at the person pulling your hair). The key is: live or Memorex? that is: Live or Stored Doyle?4. If one sheds all (good as well as bad) doyles - would one become comatose?
That raises the question: "Why would anyone do such a thing?" Lacking an example of such a crazy behavior, I'd say no. One could not do such a serious thing while one is joyful and remove joy because the two feelings are mutually incompatible. Thus, there is no fear that you would accidentally remove a good feeling so far as I am concerned.When you remove doylic memories, you simply clear out the emotional presents of the past which were stored before five years old. Those doylic memories remain present until or unless converted into cognitive memories. If you were to remove all doylic memories, you would more alive and present in the here-and-now because you would react only to events occuring around you. No doylic memories from the past would arise to interfere with your thoughts and actions. If confronted by a scary situation that would have before paralyzed you in fear, afterward you would quickly react appropriately to escape or overcome the situation. It is in this sense that you would be more alive. And it's for this reason that we have adopted the motto for the Doyletics Foundation: "When in Doubt, Trace it Out." If you're unsure whether some onerous feeling or reaction to a situation is a doyle or not, trace it out. It's your way of asking your body the question, "Is this a doyle or not?" If the answer is "Yes" the doyle will thenceforth be gone from your life. If the answer is "No" it was simply some physiological response (or your trace was defective, so try again next time).
There's another consideration: Part of feeling ALIVE is having appropriate and good feeling doyles, so you will not want those eliminated. It could turn you into a Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, who was very alive, but always had to explain to Dr. McCoy why he reacted so strangely to situations which generated doylic responses in other people. To be fully human is to have doylic memories. To be normal is to have doylic memories. "Enjoy the good ones and trace away the bad ones" seems to be the best policy to be fully human from now on.
Consider how certain autistic persons have little if any emotional content in their lives. This came about not from tracing away doylic memories, but by their never storing them in the first place. This is due to their precocious ability to store cognitive memories before five, sometimes near birth, and thus few good or bad doyles were stored. The few doyles stored are treasured by autistics and they will seek to experience those few feelings over and over again. This explains the prevalence of perserveration, in such repetitive actions as rocking in a chair (pleasure) or knocking their head against the crib (pain). Perseveration is defined as continuing an action long after the original stimulus is gone and doylic memory is an example of perserveration, one that is common to all human beings, to a greater or lesser extent. Autistics have doylic memories, but very few of them compared to other human beings. They have, in compensation, a much advanced ability to make cognitive and conceptual images.
In some functioning autistics, they are able to simulate laughter and happiness so well, that they seem as normal as anyone else or almost so. But consider this: How can you confirm the emptiness of what they may be feeling compared to the fullness of your feeling of happiness? This is so difficult. I have tried this, and so far have no good plan on how it can be done. Another excellent dissertation research project.
