Now my contention is that all these aspects of being a self are all perceptual predictions of various kinds.

现在我的论点是，作为一个自我的所有这些方面都是各种感知预测。

Everything that arises in consciousness is a perceptual prediction, and all of our conscious experiences, whether of the self or of the world, are all deeply rooted in our nature, as living machines.

意识中出现的一切都是一种感知预测， 我们所有的意识体验，无论是自我还是世界， 都深深植根于我们作为活机器的本性。
