   112 	      deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the

   113 	      world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to

   114 	      recognize other worms performing various actions like

   115 	      wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:

   116 	      the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the

   117 	      other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its

   118 	      own previous experience. All code and text for the
