(In light/practice of advice I’ve read to just go ahead and comment without always trying to write something super substantive/eloquent, I’ll say that) I’m definitely interested in this idea and in evaluating it further, especially since I’m not sure I really thought about this in an explicit way before (since I generally just think “average per each person/entity’s aggregate [over time] vs. sum aggregate of all entities,” without focusing that much on a distinction between an entity’s aggregate over time and that same entity’s average over time). Such an approach might have particular relevance under models that take a less unitary/consistent view of human consciousness. I’ll have to leave this open and come back to it with a fresh/rested mind, but for now I think it’s worth an upvote for at least making me recognize that I may not have considered a question like this before.
