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.
The part of behavior and observation that you form indexed memories about is conscious. It puts a serious bottleneck into processing but enables non associative learning.

Please help. The first sounds like the "Self". The second sounds like a contstrait to processing ( fair enough) and gives a rationale (cool) but are these Attention? Hmm. Say more about DIRECTED conscious attention?

The self is a particular set of identifications and models. Conscious attention is basically the ability to form indexed memories. Whatever you remember having been the contents of your attention is what you are conscious of.
