Statements like this lead me to suspect that, when it comes down to it, you don't really make any essential distinction between the 3p and 1p senses of the term "consciousness". ISTM that the latter sense is probably what you intend by "fundamental". Whereas consciousness in the former sense can perhaps be placed alongside intelligence in something like the manner you suggest, in the latter sense it surely cannot, except by ignoring the distinction in question. ISTM you conflate these two senses quite a lot. I can't really decide whether you're hedging your bets on this, or whether you really don't recognise any important difference. Care to elucidate?
