Theoretical move: The passage deploys Damasio's neuroscientific account of a tripartite self (protoself, core self, autobiographical self) to reframe autoaffection as a nonconscious, homeostatic biological process, thereby challenging classical subject-centered accounts of consciousness and opening a comparison with Freudian ignorance of the psyche's own extension.
the conscious core self emerges, which is the zero-level form of consciousness (also called 'thick consciousness'), the locus of the 'feeling of ourselves.'
