I buy the whole Greek three-part soul thing. I think the correct names are solar soul, lunar soul, and earthly soul. You have the rational mind, the emotional mind, and the physical mind.
However, it's more like three tribes than three whole individuals. I independently derived the so-called "internal family" model of the brain. To oversimplify, the brain is a pile of ASICs, and some of those ASICs have basic sentience. You can talk to them and negotiate for different cognition; ref: Stoicism. Even the main voluntary consciousness is merely the circuit with the specific purpose of being general-purpose. It's a bit small because as coded via neurons, general-purpose processing is expensive.
