I like what I've read of Jaynes too. The Bicameral Mind helps begin to model what I call super-signifying ideas in culture (much better than H.A.D.D., which I hate for explaining religion but works well for explaining why we want to believe computers can become conscious). I don't know of anything he wrote about though that explains why or how awareness could exist in the first place.
