I don't see why invoking a Multiverse is preferable to a continuum of public and private sense channels within one universe. If consciousness appears at the Multiverse level, should we not be conscious of the Multiverse? Instead, it is just the opposite. The one characteristic which is shared most pervasively among sane subjects is realism - a practical certainty of a single shared sense context which is uncompromisingly and absolutely real. > > BTW - I had a similar problem with your MGA - it is not intrinsically > absurd to me that a recording can be conscious.

If recordings were conscious, wouldn't they evolve behind our backs? Shouldn't Bugs Bunny continue to have new adventures inside the film can that we can watch forever? It makes more sense to me that recordings are not conscious, but rather they are artifacts arranged so that consciousness may play them as an indirect or specular sensorimotive experience. We have no reason to assume that consciousness, or anything else, can be a disembodied arithmetic.
