The self extends to where your actions close a loop

The active counterpart to the rubber hand: behind a wheel the boundary moves to the edge of the car, and nobody rear-ended says *he hit my car*. Not sensory agreement but a loop closing — action, consequence, fast enough to be felt as one event. The least mystical account of why what you repeatedly do stops feeling like something you do.
