Questions about mind and will are usually raised as though mind and will are either present or absent. Here, a view is presented to suggest that they are only a particular instantiation of a 'consciousness primitive', present in lower animals as well as in primitive portions of the human brain. Physiological variables, drugs and transmitters alter it in order to produce discontinuous products, such as learning, motivation, emotions etc., which are usually studied by performance models as though they are distinctive functions of the brain.
关于心智和意志的问题通常被提出，就好像心智和意志要么存在要么不存在。在此，提出一种观点，认为它们只是“意识原基”的一种特定实例化，存在于低等动物以及人类大脑的原始部分中。生理变量、药物和递质会改变它，以产生诸如学习、动机、情绪等不连续的产物，这些产物通常由表现模型进行研究，就好像它们是大脑的独特功能一样。
