Recently I came across an explanation for conciousness in cerebral cortex. The cortex, could be represented by multiple neuron cliques, each clique could encode a type of unique feeling, and these cliques could be varying, that means, during learning, the cliques and the number of cliques could change. When multiple cliques activates simutanuously, it could produce different combinations of feelings, that becomes the conciousness. Just like the hidden states of a large language model, usually 4096 dimensional, could represent the overall semantic for a sentence or a passage. But now the problem is, how do we perceive our own existence? That could be a problem… But the perception of our own existence could also be a type of feeling (semantic) composed by a combination of neuron cliques. So, that could provide a possible explanation of conciousness defined above. And the human awareness is nothing different from other mammals or insects. It is just because insects’ brain is not complex enought to perceive their own existence. But the perception is the same.
