A neat thing about the predictive processing model of emotion as articulated in How Emotions are Made as I understand it (which is, unfortunately, not well), is that in a world where the experience of emotions is a product of sensory stimuli mediated by conceptual constructs, you’d expect, in some sense, to genuinely feel, perhaps not _with_ your internal organs, but something kinda like that.
The predictive processing model is quite a helpful framework — I've written a paper applying it to the case of chronic pain — but leaves open some critical questions when it comes to pain and emotions.
Eg: how are priors embodied? what do they have to do with neuronal clusters outside the body?
Could you direct me to the paper? I have only just begun to reconcile my worldview with implications of the PP model; I have suspicions, but they’re all pretty inchoate. I guess it’s fortunate I’m in an unscientific enough field to run with that.
Omg thank you for that article it was amazing to read !!!

Fascia and muscle tension is one part of it
