My hope is that much of complexity of cortical aspects of consciousness can be sidestepped by focusing attention on the relatively simple brainstem affective systems which I place at the foundation of consciousness.

If a “source code” for consciousness exists we will discover it among the homeostatic and emotional affective systems of the brainstem and not in the cortex. And there exists a great deal of empirical evidence which supports that hypothesis.
