And I wish to go on hurting you. There seems to be some consensus here that however mind and brain are related, there seems to be more process going on then we are directly aware of. In some way, a filtering mechanism in our mind/brain extracts certain salient images from all the associations and connections. It is these structures (thoughts?) that I would call consciousness or awareness. Would anybody care to take a stab at a model for this? Logic is bunch of pretty flowers that smell bad. slag heap.
