Let me introduce the term x-soul, as in reference to the human soul. Pick any word for x and then apply. God inspired me to compose the word x-soul. He is glorious. DE
Well, quite a few people believe in the human soul, in fact billions. You have your beliefs and I have mine. So be it. DE
Your post isn't Philosophy: you should have created the thread in the Cesspool. Not that you can support any of those claims ...
Who else has a soul (in your belief) besides humans? Why does it need an x-modifier? What about x-unicorns?
First, a couple of starting points. Necessary to make this exercise even a tentative manipulation of anything meaningful. soul - "The immaterial part of a person." (WordWeb) HERMANN WEYL: "The objective world simply IS, it does not HAPPEN. Only to the gaze of my consciousness, crawling upward along the life line [worldline] of my body, does a certain section of this world come to life as a fleeting image in space which continuously changes in time." --Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science Thus "temporal" or "flowing" apparently selected for filling the placeholder slot of _X_. As I'm not sure what else could accommodate "immaterial" in a physicalism orthodoxy other than the appearance of cognition shifting from one brain state to the next in such a human body's worldline. (Assuming either popular opinion or any preset aspects of materialist creed can be taken to favor that there is no substantive "stuff" to be detected that would be transiting along an extra-dimensional, extended version of one's existence.) Two caveats, of course: (1) That one has indeed decided to regard this "appearance" of cognition / consciousness moving over time (treated as geometrical framework) as literal, or more than mere appearance. (2) Should a distinct global state for the universe correspond to a yoctosecond duration or something, then a far lengthier milliseconds interval of consciousness would hardly "fit" into any brain state which likewise corresponded to that universal slice of temporal framework. Thus "shifting from one brain state to next" above would be for descriptive simplicity's sake; it might instead be one collective series of brain states to the next collection (whatever was necessary to fully instantiate a particular, irregular interval of human cognition).
