Since we cant tell if our aparent and undefined CONSCIOUSNESS is just a
confeused disunderstanding or ilusion, I propose that consciousness is mearly
a trick of the senses that any inteligent system could be easily fooled by.

The feeling of having consciousness must arise from some informational
process and therby arises from physical processes which as far as we know are
the only things that can encode information.  Withuot that 1 nit of info that
says you are conscious (of what we dont know) there is no such awareness.

I'm sorry. Its just not that big a deal.
but it is nicly complex. (^_^)

Tim.
