Puzzles arise because you try to find coherent motivations for the thoughts and actions of a multitude of different agents which are only in partial communication with each other. Coherence is only the agenda of another agent, one whose goal is to maintain your relations with the tribe, to keep you answerable, and since he is a meta-agent he retains a certain hierarchical elevation. The whole thing is there to pre-empt the experience of the veritable subject. The agents don the mask of the subject and its prerogatives when it is their turn to act. Close examination of any of them shows that they do not possess, could not possess the self-grounding that is assumed in subjecthood. But it is impossible to reach this conclusion in a firm deduction because the investigator is yet another agent, in turn drawing its power and authority from its own usurpation of the subject position.
