oh, the mouse cursor is an extension of the human body so far as the brain cares, right? i hold onto the mouse, the mouse is part of the body now, and the cursor is attached to the mouse. i think that's how the brain works
something funny just happened to me: i looked at a cursor on the screen and tried to use the mouse to click it. but the mouse was connected to another computer with another display on the same desk!
made me think about the chain of subconscious assumptions: if i'm holding a mouse and see a cursor, it must be controlled by my hand right now…
