>>The start of your algorithm is elegant to the max, AR. But the answer to "to Whom?" and "my consciousness" are identical. The whom is Thou, the consciousness is thou, the awareness of your mourners and the celebration of your release will also be Thou.<<

These are all inexact terms but the point is made. If consciousness is an illusion, it is an illusion to itself. This is simply a logical impossiblility. And yet, there do seem to be ways that consciousness seems to trick itself.

>>Building from the bottom up--arguing that conscious is disproven by matter-- is a logical error of confusing the product with the cause, the receipt-point with the origin-point, the WHat with the WHo.<<

Perhaps de Chardin was right: consciousness is inherent in matter.
