Matt,

Just rummaging around my files and the web.  Found a few bits
and bytes of other discussions that might be worth revisiting.

I tend to be skeptical about the whole "explaining consciousness" industry,
partly because I draw a distinction between describing and explaining, and
not everything that calls for description calls for explanation, at least,
not from the standpoint of a Peircean or Aristotelian perspective on the
role of abductive inference in the play of inquiry.  That says nothing
about the possible use of the T^3 framework in describing the contents
and modifications of consciousness, however, so I think that may be
worth another look.

Regards,

Jon
