When you describe (2) and reference "brain-based" and "neuroscience" terms, is the approximate "explanation" for why the self is said to die due to the Neuron Theory in that once the neurons rot away there cannot possibly be any neural and synaptic activity and thus obvious end of self?
I raise this question/query sort of in light of the storyline I advocate where, in my model I have nested structural coding going on in stacks of ordered water forming internal representations of surroundings (and thus self) forming in the energy-related aerobic respiration reaction. This structural coding goes on within neurons and other cells and parallel with or perhaps cooperatively interactive with the neural networking and other structural coding.
Upon the death, the structural coding of the stacks of ordered water, as in the (1) option could just continue on, let's say, going through various re-orderings in the similarly structured and coordinated surroundings and regenerative cycles. If we are basically talking about continuations of particular natural structures or coordinations, then this sort of model could give some account for both (1) and (2).
I suppose, to get technical, various psychic phenomena (astral travel, remote viewing, OOBE could work along a similar "structural" or resonance pathway. The so-called "self" would be "in or related with ordered water structural coding" and not so much with the neural activity, although locally, both are related.
Thoughts?
