[ExI] Who does or does not think consciousness is composed of color (and other) qualities?

[Giovanni Santostasi]

Gadersd,
Right but just add some feedback loops and you have consciousness. If the
system can recognize its own state (greenness vs redness) voila' you have
a conscious experience of colors. We don't have all the details of how this
works but most of what we know in neuroscience points in this direction.
