Instead, ask animals to solve problems that can only be solved with a control model of perceptual attention.pic.twitter.com/WW2c0yTX2Y

How do you differentiate between consciousness and awareness?

Consciousness is a folk term. Can someone be aware but unconscious? To me the issue is whether there is an experience or not. Experience = aesthetic-participatory presentation. Anesthetic mechanism (No experience) = physics (concrete) or logic (abstract).

Aware of awareness is a specialized case even for people. This would imply only an awake adult contemplating their own thoughts qualifies. It would be impossible to test in animals and not useful from a human functional, legal, medical, childhood developmental perspective.
-
This also implies massive levels of free will and agency, which is a never ending rabbit hole to determine what the control mechanism actually is.

Shouldn't we grade it: how conscious an animal is, is the same question as how aware of its awareness it is?

Yes, this would fit the ability to model possibilities internally, which would require an internal simulation of self (you can react to stimuli with just sensory awareness).

What do you mean by control model? Like a control system? Also, have you read Perception of Control by William Powers?
