That's a very good clear single brain description of it. Thanks for that. I don't think a complete understanding of consciousness is possible from a single brain. Picture this - the rise of general intelligence in the human species and that collection of brains spread over time and space communicating. Each brain being a node in a graph. The consciousness piece is a component in each brain transceiver transmitting on graph edges to other brains and other non-brain environment related structure. On this model naturally there is much superfluous material that can be eliminated compared to a single brain model since a single brain has to survive independently in the real environment. And the graph model can be telescoped down into a single structure I believe. To be more concise, consciousness can be viewed as a functional component in the brain’s transceiver. That’s essentially the main crux of my perspective. Could it be wrong? Oh ya totally… But that functionality, whether or not in consciousness itself is still integral to general intelligence IMO. And there are other related reasons… It would be interesting analyzing single brain consciousness connectome structure based on the multi-brain intelligence model, why things happen as they do in their electrochemical patterns.... firing up the single brain model and getting it transceiving with other emulations.
