An interesting but far more detailed theory, on attention and efference copy, is Cotterill's Enchanted Looms. Got that on order. I certainly need to review Graziano after my David Rose reading.
Thanks for the pointer.
I'm not convinced that a discussion like this one needs a "far more detailed theory on attention and efference copy". We are talking philosophy here and we need to grasp the core concept rather than the intricate details. It seems to me Graziano does that well, and does ground it in the neuroscience of attention.
What is Cotterill's core insight that makes sense of C?
Cotterill gets deep into the circuitry. I have only read a synopsis by David Rose and am waiting for Cotterill's book.
Graziano and I differ in definitions of C and awareness but not attention. I will see about modifying my definitions to follow his. Need to read more about where he is going first. He has that Venn diagram at the beginning of the book.
