> Re the above:
The mind is what we can sense in our brain.  Just like being able to
sense, feel, various types of sensations at the time of their first
perception,  if and when memories of these sensations are
re-experienced(recalled), the "mind" would be formed  as an integrated
sensation of the whole brain ongoing "sensed" recollection,
simulataneous sensing of the current environment(with our eyes, ears,
other sensory organs and receptors) and thought formation.
 Some introduction on my webpage re  what memory particles are.
If they can be sensed at the time of sensing, they can be recalled as
memories and particles of the mind.
