There's a whole field of study called cognitive science that discusses this, and I feel your article would be a lot better if you had even just a superficial reading knowledge of this field.

The great, huge problem with your article is that you do not, in fact, explain what consciousness is. You just tell us that it is intuitively clear, and wash your hands.

What predictive value does this have? What experiments demonstrate the truth of your claim? Supposing someone said that your claim wasn't true - how would you refute them without saying, "It's obvious"?

For example, Dennett's "Consciousness Explained" is over thirty years old now, and he provides an actual, operative explanation for what consciousness is, backed by copious experimental evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness_Explained

(Recently, he wrote his final book on the subject, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Bacteria_to_Bach_and_Back, and it's epic, though I haven't finished it yet.)

I see a lot of snarky comments. Sadly, I feel they are necessary. You don't even seem to have grasped the questions, let alone providing any answers. And the idea that you have figured out consciousness where all of science has not is pretty arrogant, and I think people are abreacting to it.

No claps. I suggest you spend some time looking at what other people have done in this field before coming in and announcing you have solved a problem that has been discussed for thousands of years, "and it's obvious".
