P.S.: “… an [ ] idea exists about how the brain will function under all circumstances. But this is not consciousness.”

Yes, that’s right, and this is basically the first half of the piece. The more subjective, self-aware, uniquely human consciousness is (I think) clearly-but-perhaps-too-briefly explained in the last 4 paragraphs of the summary (sections, “the awareness of brained creatures . . . “ and “what’s doing the blending”). It inevtably evolves out of the previous, simpler idea of properties, as described. I will explain it to you in proper detail.

I’m sending my contact info and some dates for coffee through your website so we can meet sometime soon. LMK if you’ve received it and I’ll look forward to meeting you!
