[ExI] A paper that actually does solve the problem of consciousness

gts:

The representationalist knows any representation is possible in the 
world of the mind.  But of course, evolution is motivated to be as 
accurate as possible.  This is obviosly why the deception - that our 
knowledge is reality itself - is so compelling.  But obviously, as in 
cases such as this resulting sine wave, an any other inaccurate 
'seeming', it has a few quirks in the phenomenal representations it 
produces from it's detected inputs.
