Very much agree with this view on the body. I describe it usually in terms of mutual persuadability but sharing interoception is a reasonable way to describe it too.
The body has sense organs, which is to say parts that have external perception which becomes the part's internal states and gets shared via the shared interoception process.
But while I think the *body* is made of the parts that are sharing interoception, it seems that *embodiment* is about having much of your body be sensitive to its local environmental conditions and sharing that. Someone who is "disembodied" is not lacking sense organs or a body, but rather most of the information from their senses isn't making it into the highest level collective model.
The model is much bigger than the glue. The price system holds the system together (glue) but it isn't anything like the whole system (which includes all the parts)
I see. Our paper points out that the price system depends on the members of the economy being able to *disagree* with it whenever it's not accurate, bringing their own personal information and competencies to bear on correcting it with, say, arbitrage. Does that sound like part of the distinction between the glue and the whole system?
People additionally exchange economic information which is very important to the system through mediums other than prices. You've discovered a crucial coordination system -- maybe the equivalent of neural impulses in vertebrates? -- but it's false to say that your body is simply run by the nervous system. There is a LOT more going on than that!

What do you think about the highest level collective model being a cognitive glue or price system? https://thoughtforms.life/cognitive-glue-stress-sharing-and-memory-anonymization-holding-together-anatomical-intelligence/ https://osf.io/preprints/osf/3fdya_v1

Cool—I'll chew on this, thanks.
