1. Introspective experience

NAL-9 adds internal operations into NAL.

Self-control: body and mind, outside and inside of NARS.

How to specify the operations: normal routine and special adjustment

List of candidate operations.

Control: autonomic vs. voluntary

"complete self-modification". GEB.

2. Feeling and emotion

Add desire-value to terms and status of system.

Feeling as self-monitoring

Complex emotions: combinations of feeling and other factors: self/other, past/present/future,event/entity,cause/effect, ...

Mixed feeling and emotion

Emotion for communication. Understanding and production. Genuine vs. fake

Emotion and rationality

3. Consciousness

Internal experience and its processing

Stream of consciousness in NARS: subjective, discontinuous, incomplete

The notion of self

Self-reference and paradox --- if "truth" is defined according to evidence, then it is fine if a statement is neither true nor false, but paradoxical, which means it cannot be supported by evidence, nor assumed in an abstract theory.

Self-consciousness: qualia and zombie

Mind vs. body: two languages, not two worlds
