1) How are you accounting for the fact that people do not experience the same feelings? Even among neurotypicals, there is wide variation in the response to the same stimuli.
2) The second of your initial ideas—you believe what enables you to act—seems to assume a utilitarian perspective on belief. Is that right?
3) There is a heavy emphasis on language—are you including mathematics in that description? Other forms of communication? Ritualized experiences? What is it bounded by, if not by language?
4) What is the goal here?
5) If you don’t have access to information outside of your feelings and these rules, how do you determine what actions make you feel a sense of balance?
A few questions leap to mind.
