What's the role of Self in partswork?
- (I have a thread or two on this)
- M > maybe parts are all LH, and Self is RH?
  - should ask my McGilchrist peeps about this
  - since Self isn't exactly the whole, but it's not part-y
  - this would also fit in a satisfyingly unified way with these general principles:
    - left hemispheres aren't made for interfacing with other people
      - twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1214444739531100160
    - it's the left hemisphere's job to have blindspots
      - (maybe there are tweets on this)
  - could do a whole thread speculating on it #2tweet
- R > to me it feels a bit like number zero
  - it's another number, but it doesn't have a shadow (a negative version of itself)
  - M > or a number 1, which doesn't have an inverse
- R > maybe there are multiple Selves, but only one can show up at once?
  - M > I feel like since the Self is integrative, these multiple ones would integrate with each other
