    It is not the case that If action without felt bodily awareness is possible, agency and interoception are doubly dissociable, not necessarily connected.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Agency fundamentally requires proprioception and kinesthetic awareness to generate motor commands; 'action without bodily awareness' may be linguistically incoherent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Automated actions still depend on baseline interoceptive regulation (arousal, glucose homeostasis); absence of conscious awareness ≠ absence of interoceptive involvement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dissociation in brain-damaged patients reflects neural reorganization, not true independence; healthy systems show constitutive integration of agency and interoception.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Patients with severe interoceptive deficits (e.g., primary autonomic failure) retain ability to execute deliberate actions, showing agency without bodily awareness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Automated skilled actions (typing, driving) occur with minimal interoceptive monitoring, suggesting agency can function independently of moment-to-moment bodily signals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Double dissociation requires each capacity to survive independently; evidence of decoupled agency and interoception supports this logical structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
