what's odd, though, is that this point of awareness does not appear to actually be strictly passive, or i wouldn't be able to speak of having one. there's a hypothesis that explains this that amuses me so greatly that i experience it as very likely

this is that the point of awareness is actually strictly passive, but the meat is right *by accident* about its existence, because having that sort of thing as an organizing driver has evolutionary advantages. and possibly being right by accident about them attracts them, idfk

on the plus side, if there's only one consciousness threading through everything, that solves the "teleportation = murder" concern

Consciousness is an executive summary? When you're dreaming, what's it a summary of?

Generalizing a bit, it seems consciousness can be fed arbitrary data. Doesn't that mean consciousness must exist independently of what it's being ed?
