This is one of the aspects of comp that I have great trouble with. How is it possible
for a brain to allow consciousness to manifest itself?
And it seems to make consciousness completely independent of memory (even short term
memory) - which intelligence is not.

If consciousness exists in arithmetic (or something like that) why aren't we
experiencing all sorts of weirdness, rather than the appearance of a stable material
world, and the appearance of brains being somehow responsible for consciousness? (This
seems a /bit/ reminiscent of the idea that God created the world last Thursday, with all
the memories, evidence of earlier times, and so on included.)
