Hi Marsha, I don't like the adjective "subjective" modifying consciousness as the locus of my awareness. There is no proper distinction between thought (mathematics) and emotions (dynamic) in the adjective "subjective". It is very confusing as it overwrites the evolutionary supposition for an indefinable/definable basket of goodies. This leaves logic floundering. Logic in the rest of the paragraph is diluted by "subjective".
