Modern theories of consciousness extended by the HI Mind Model
There are many modern theories of consciousness that have been proposed as a way to research and study consciousness. Those that focus on the observed functioning of the brain tend to hint at what goes on in consciousness without defining any basic functional attributes of consciousness.
By adding in the semi-conscious focusses described in the HI Mind Model, with their specific attributes and imperatives, the role and function of consciousness can be more easily understood. Much of what goes on in consciousness can be described as a reconciliation of the varied motivations of the focuses.
This does not explain the whole of consciousness and nor does it answer the vexing question of what consciousness actually is. This approach does offer a considerable advance on other approaches though and there are some tantalising possibilities that can be applied to describe, or rather simulate, the remaining core of consciousness.
