i don't think it does, i think experience comes first and we learn actually much, much later to assign those experiences to a persona-identity-history those things may be implied by the usage, yeah, which is a reason why the usage is a halfassed tool to use to point to the thing

experience as pure pattern recognition doesn't necessarily require a subject, it's sort of like the subject emerges slowly as a higher level pattern above the experienced patterns... but at what point does a baby become conscious?

real damn early, i claim raw conscious experience is the ground from which all this pattern recognition (construction) and identity boundary formation emerges, the fancy architecture depends on it, it does not depend on the fancy architecture

I see, I guess I would personally call that something other than consciousness (maybe perception, what Jaynes accused Russell of doing) but also these words all fucking suck, a better route would be clarifying metaphors or topologies but it's too late at night for me to do that

it helps if you kick all connotations derived from "self-consciousness" out of "consciousness" i.e. consider that the "self-" is there for a reason and is an important differentiation

I'd define self-consciousness as the application of consciousness (directed symbolic processing for which "you" are the subject) toward oneself as object, don't see a problem here

i would not identify directed symbolic processing for which "you" are the subject as consciousness i would peg that as like the second or third emergence layer from baseline consciousness

I might agree that it's like one level lower at the "relationships between abstract structures/signifiers parsed out of perception" level but the caveat here is that I desperately do not want to acknowledge that animals other than humans are conscious lol
