I would suggest what youre saying is like the rest of academiis in favor of a 'consciousness first' approach. Essentially, i'm just barey aware and not aware of what i'm doing - but it doesn't stop me from going on with my day-to-day life. We have very good neural models for how our brains work to some extent.

And this could be because these organisms are ongoing processes rather than instantaneous ones. This
