The vital organs of formerly-living beings, therefore, contain the remants of what distinguished the living body from the mindless matter the corpse, through rot, is currently transitioning to. (It is thus almost universally believed that the recently dead are "dreaming," in the sense that they can have morally relevant experiences, even if they are no longer organized in a way that makes up an active person.) Propositional beliefs can be found in the liver, episodic memories in the kidneys, passions and personality in the heart, particular attachments in the genitals and uterus, and so on. Some gourmands can claim to find aspects of the personality in other parts such as the lungs, brain, ground-up bones, and so on.
Does this also mean that living human minds are more decentralised than in our universe? If an Abolished Aeon human loses their uterus or one of their kidneys or something, does that fuck them up mentally? Even if not, does it disqualify them from necromimesis?
