A satisfying account of consciousness will have to involve an intimate link
between intellectual understanding and subjective experience.
This will
require the "user" to engage with a Consciousness Machine.
A
Consciousness Machine is roughly a cross between a video game and a simulation
of the mind of the user.
Its purpose is to present the user with
representations of the computational mechanisms of his or her own mind at
work, in real time.
I propose that, done properly, this kind of device can
support a deeply satisfying, individualized account of the experience delivered
by one's own mind.
