Perhaps the human psyche, or soul, is a standing wave front of merged brain systems crashing to nothingness, when by accident, we are damaged enough to be pronounced dead (No electrical current - no function of any kind). These systems only cascade fail slowly as we die of other problems. By slowly I mean in an electrical sense, which is actually so fast you wouldnt notice the ebb...
this is a good subject and article. Can we pick and pull pieces of its body to examine? << it doesn’t tell us why people see the soul unbuckling itself from the body and floating off like an invisible helium balloon into the realm of eternity. After all, there’s nothing to stop us from having afterlife beliefs that involve the still active mind being entombed in the skull and deliriously happy. Yet almost nobody has such a belief.>> People "see" strangeness while grieving, or with atltered brain tructures/chemistry, and outside input from chemical friends. To see and observe death on a cold day... observing the last chilled breath dissappear on the wind, should provide an appropriate image. An out of body experience, explainable by science, brings the sensation of floating above the body. There are so many ways to come at that impression. Trapped in a decomposing body? How unaesthetic. Repulsion explainable by the deterioration of the flesh. Not even our evolved fanciful fantasy equipment can overcome that one. Can we discuss the entirety of death? this is fun.
