If your theory of consciousness contains a Hard Problem, it means that you recognize that your theory does not work.

That’s my thinking as well - all of the nuances of our SE is a separate issue best left to philosophers. The relevant fact is that SE is an elaboration of organismic affect. Physiological affect is real. It exists and can be measured. SE exists and can be measured.

You cannot leave anything to philosophers. At best, they are busy solving problems caused by other philosophers.

The term "representation" seems more accurate than "story". Story has a connotation of being entirely made up. A representation, otoh, is a fitted curve.

Yes, but you need to fit your curves in many dimensions, including the temporal one, which requires successive branching expansion over states in an event calculus, which I would call stories, because that's more concise than 'directed graph of the succession of events' or so.

Is “self is a story, mind a story generator” a description of the self from the functional (can I say 3rd person?) frame? Or does it aim to bridge gap between the frames? Is 'story' a special smthg that seems to make sense in both frames of reference no translation needed?
-
The story generator description exists within the mind as well and is not part of the ground truth, but it is a mathematical concept that does not require experience, and can be functionally realized. The experienced self is not real.
