True, but I wanted to draw an example from which we can relate to in terms of our sensory perception, as we can't ask the octopus what it's like to have autonomic limbs to that extent. For the same reason, it's unclear how connected the arms and primary brain actually are, as octopi appear to perform on learning and memory based tasks in an identical fashion to animals with a conventional brain.We could draw an example of octopi, and how each individual arm has a mind of its own, performing tasks and processing sensory and motor signals without consulting the animal's central brain. The arms are also connected to one another through their axial nerve cords in specific patterns, allowing for coordination between them without explitic commands.
