What of attractions and fields? Are we not attracted to that which we feel gives us that something for whatever reason we deem that to be of import?

maybe we are, is there any evidence of this? if not, then it's just another pretty theory :)

If conciousness, not memory or any function of object permanence, is key to sum. Will we not repeat what most innately attracts us without the buffer of memories preconceived associations?

perhaps, there is really no way of telling without the exact same conditions and a repeated test of it, but how?.

This concept alone would pay us our due. As we know the artist secretly reproduces themselves.

The Buddhists tell you not to imagine self upon dying as you will be pulled back by the gravity of the visualization. The Incan Kings bred with their closest relatives to ensure little deviation in family to that which they would return (compounding sorrows and material Karmas fate).

Let go of what you know lest it consume you.
