Do not confuse consciousness with memory.  Consciousness is not
a dualistic phenomena which your "speculation" (your word) tends
to imply.  Consider that you did not mentioned subconscious (explicitly),
and but you did mention a dual unconscious.

Your comments on memory can also be refined by the cognitive
literature such as the distinction between recall, recognition, and the two
other types of memory tests I am forgetting.  You also should make a
distinction between forgetting and interference (this is good).
My suggestion is for you to visit a nearby college or university and
get some literature on cognition (of which I am NOT a proponent).
