I figure that consciousness is what happens when things behave intelligently, or to say the same thing another way, consciousness is the way data feels like when it is being processed. I think consciousness is fundamental, that is to say I think a string of "why" questions cannot be infinitely long so at the end of that string you come to something fundamental. And so after that there is simply nothing more to say about consciousness or anything else that is fundamental; although there is a lot more to say about intelligence. Consciousness is easy but intelligence is hard. <br>
