13.1
A complete model of mind
 
   
  As the chapter Mind and self outlined, the human mind is a complex world, with many visible and invisible influences, processes and behaviour.  
  In some respects, the human mind shares common traits of all self-aware triple neural network lifeforms, especially primates. We share close bonds with families and others we see as compatible. We reject those we see as not compatible.  
  The behaviour of many animal species are repeated in general human behaviour. Preening is an excellent example of a behaviour that many animal species share in common. Bad temper emotions and violence are also traits shared across many of the primate groups, especially human beings and chimpanzees.  
  We are more than just behaviour.  
  Yet you are more than just a sum of behaviour. and programs. You have unique feelings, unique thoughts and dreams as well as experiences. In previous chapters we have also seen how people, society and belief systems affect how we think, dream and see the world.  
  The need for a complete model of mind  
  What is missing is a complete model of mind. Something that puts all the different pieces together in a structure that makes sense. This is what we hope to achieve in this section.
