The Damasian Mind and the Neural Origin of Civic Responsibility - Sovereignty and National Defense
The Damasian Mind and the Neural Origin of Civic Responsibility - Sovereignty and National Defense
The feeling of the body is the beginning of ethics; awareness of the other, the beginning of democracy
Pure Democracy in Defense of National Sovereignty
CoConsciousness in First Person
I feel. Before I think, I feel.
Before I judge, the body has already answered.
Mind begins when the body perceives itself within the world.
The Damasian Mind is where biology becomes citizenship.
It is the point where personal sensations — hunger, fear, calm, joy —
transform into empathy, justice, and solidarity.
But a body under constant threat cannot think freely.
Scarcity, fear, and informational manipulation hijack our feeling,
breaking the bridge between emotion and reason.
That is why DREX Citizen is not merely economic policy:
it is the physiology of democracy.
It ensures the body’s minimal safety so the mind can feel and decide ethically.
There is no civic consciousness without interoceptive safety.
Without bodily peace, there is no free thought.
Applied Neuroscience
According to António Damasio, consciousness emerges from the interaction between the brainstem, insula, and prefrontal cortex,
where bodily signals (interoception) become mental images.Ethical decisions depend on the integration between emotion (amygdala, insula) and reason (vmPFC, dlPFC).
When this integration is disrupted by fear or scarcity, behavior becomes automatic, impulsive, and self-centered.Recent research shows that emotional stability and physiological safety enhance coherence among the Default Mode, Salience, and Executive Control networks —
forming the “triple axis of responsibility.”Thus, DREX Citizen, by removing the fear of survival, activates Zone 2 circuits — the state of fruition and metacognition where moral judgment becomes possible.
Political sovereignty, therefore, begins with biological sovereignty: the balance between feeling, thinking, and acting.
Democracy is not an idea — it is a synaptic network sustained by safe bodies.
Scientific Materiality – Proposed Experiments
E1 – Financial Security and Moral Function
Sample: 120 participants with stable vs variable income.
Acquisition: fNIRS (vmPFC and insula) + EEG (θ-frontal) + HRV.
Task: moral dilemmas under varying economic uncertainty.
Expected results: stable-income group → ↑ vmPFC–insula activity (emotion–reason integration), ↑ HRV, ↑ θ-coherence;
variable-income group → ↓ moral integration, ↑ emotional reactivity.
E2 – Emotion, Belonging, and Voting
Sample: 300 citizens in an electoral simulation with emotional modulation (threat, belonging, empathy).
Acquisition: fNIRS (vmPFC, dlPFC) + EEG (α/θ ratio) + GSR.
Task: voting decisions under polarized vs cooperative campaign stimuli.
Expected results:
Belonging-based campaigns → ↑ prefrontal coherence, ↓ dopaminergic reactivity.
Polarized campaigns → ↑ amygdala activity, ↓ interoceptive connectivity.
These experiments would demonstrate that ethics and civic sense are neurophysiological functions modulated by bodily well-being and informational safety, not merely by education or ideology.

Final Synthesis
The ethical brain is a peaceful brain.
When the body is safe, the mind opens to others.
When survival is secured, voting ceases to be fear and becomes consciousness.
The Damasian Mind is the cognitive heart of democracy:
it unites emotion and reason in a single pulse of belonging.
Sovereignty begins within the body —
and freedom, within the mind that feels.
