Consciousness is not a property with a single dimension but a phase space of modes of reflected interaction. The occupants of different regions of that space may appear as zombies to each other, because they are aware of different realities.

Consciousness is a simulated property of a simulated self. It is a model of the contents of your attention. Phenomenal c. is a memory of the percepual binding state, access c. a memory of experiencing content, reflexive c. a memory of the experience of the access itself.

1) how is self different from consciousness? If c. Is a model of the contents of our attention, then c. Is also the ego self, the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is a construct of thoughts, feelings, memory. 2) is access c. The ‘knower’? I.e knower of the world, inner thoughts,feelings etc.

The self is a story that the mind tells itself about itself. Part of that story is conscious. "I" tends to be the index of the currently active behavior program. Different "I"s identify with each other because they share attentional memory.

So are you saying the self is fundamentally unconscious, but there is a part of the story that it tells itself that is conscious?

Everything that does not call attention to itself remains unconscious. Attention is called to resolve conflicts and to learn.

But if the self is a story that the mind tells itself, then the mind is conscious right? Otherwise there would be no point in telling a story since there is no conscious entity to receive it. Under your hypothesis, consciousness is a property of an ego self simulated by the mind

A system does not need to be conscious for using a model to direct its decision making and behavior.

Even with an explanation of consciousness, the experience itself is ineffable.
