We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog 'I' that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.
Julian JaynesConsciousness is always open to many possibilities because it involves play. It is always an adventure.
Julian JaynesOur search for certainty rests in our attempts at understanding the history of all individual selves and all civilizations. Beyond that, there is only awe.
