    You are essentially a blob of fat, salt, and nerve endings piloting a bone mech with meat armour.

        My body is a machine for turning the flashes of tiny little lights precisely arranged on a slab of glass into little taps of my thumbs on precise positions on that glass slab.

      The meat is not just armor though - a skeleton alone has no capability to move itself, the meat provides the translation between thought and action, while the skeleton is merely a framework upon which the meat rests.

      Yes, but all of these are bound by fundamental physical laws. Cause and effect. You are a deterministic machine.

      You are a meat mech that operates on congruent biological principles. Therefore, everything you do is de facto “logical”.

            difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to be believable

              The difference between “believable” and “logical” is as wide as a cardboard box with a cat in it.

      It’s an illuminated manuscript depicting Saint Denis and Saint Piatus, said to have been decapitated for their beliefs.

      Edit: comes from this book: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livre_d'images_de_madame_Marie

      Maybe they’re martyrs? Sometimes they’re depicted as walking around with their fatal injuries.

      My thoughts exactly. All I can think of is that religious devotion requires giving away your brain??? It really is a bizarre illustration

      I have a theory that initially a lot of these works were made for a laugh, like an old timey joke picture, and over time people kept adding meaning to them.
      Like someone makes a rude and crude painting of a giant cock with eyes, makes people laugh, and a few thousand years later some bloke in a trilby goes “hmm, yes, it seems these people worshipped a penis god at this point in time. Also it clearly reads a prophecy, ‘deez nuts’. Fascinating.”

        “Deez”, likely a derivative of Latin “Deus”. They were clearly a god fearing people!

      that’s Byzantine artwork for ya! here’s a post from an art history community that discusses the painting. quite interesting! https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtHistory/comments/e1h0sy/jesus_and_felix_regula_exuperantius_1506/

        Wow what a way to depict them! Also, “cephalophoric” sounds like the saints are part octopus 😅

        The cephalophoric saints Felix, Regula and Exuperantius (patron saints of Zurich), holding their attributes, their severed heads, before Christ, 1506, Zürcher Veilchenmeister. (Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum, Zürich)

        The idea behind such a depiction is that those saints were killed when their heads were cut off. So it was decided that they would be honoured to be traditionally presented like that in painting. There are no less than 134 such saints.
