Interestingly,theideasyouproposehereareconsistentwiththewritingsofphysicistMaxTegmark
(http://www.amazon.com/OurMathematicalUniverseUltimateReality/dp/0307599809),whichyouperhapsmay
alreadyknow.However,hedoesnotgosofarastosuggestthatitisaphenomenonthatcanbetestedand/or

Yes,I'vereadsomeofTegmark'sworkwithinterest(andhe'sanentertainingguy).

whichhaveanindependentexistence,andhistreatmentofconsciousnessasastatewithinthat.Therewe,once
again,taketheinformationprocessingmetaphoras"real"andindependent,andplaceconsciousnesswithinthat.
Theuniversestillseemstobea"place"ratherthanaideaorpatternwhichformatsexperience.
TomCampbelltakesasimilarapproach,althoughhedoessuggestthatintentioncanselectoutcomesit'sjust
thathebindshimselfwiththeconceptsofprobabilitiesandrulesets,asiftheyareindependentsystemproperties
"outthere",andimpliesintelligenceinthatbeyondours.
Inourapproach,werecognisethatallnarrativesareabstractandarbitrarytheyareexperienceslikeanyother.
Thereisnofundamentalstructuringatallexceptwhatweadoptasconsciousness.Weareintelligent,patterns

Theproblemisthatthisrequiressomefaithofasort:
Youhavetoactuallydoa"shift"inordertoexperienceastatechangeandtherebyprovetoyourselfthatpatterns
