Certainly it could have been asked as "Who" it was hoped to depersonalize the question reducing it to a question of mechnics. Way too many "I selfs" in the way as it is. Facing ones own lack of authenticity is a difficult pill.
Do "I" re-route what is otherwise "my" default mode of operation, conditioned by unattended processes? Or does the process undergo re-routing upon the dissolution of I/me/mine?

It seems likely that both are true by actively attending to the process of "registering an impression" the nature of previously recorded impressions are dissolved at the same time an intentional structure is created.

Creating an intentional structure, yes. Actively attending, yes. Cetanā (intention, volitional activity, will) re-routes the process, but must there be an intend-er/actor/will-er? Not necessarily, at least in the Buddhist framework.
