But could it not then just be the case that my experience-orb really is just 'ontologically private', it really is completely cut off from everything, or nothing lays beyond, and I've just mentally structured my own experience in such a way as to generate an experience of others. So I have these perceptions and experience, and I mentally identify myself with a particular part of it, or you could say I structure my experience so it is in a particular mode (of say, being this body, within this external public space), which, due to my natural inclination to by analogy mentally place other 'windows upon the world' into the eyes of humans around me, causes my visual field - the world around me - to be experienced as public?
