    You may find this article and associated video helpful in clarifying some of the definitions and ideas I sketched in the initial comment you quoted. Naturally, the author has his own idiolect, so there’s an inevitable divergence of terms, yet at the same time, I feel, there’s an agreeable convergence of ideas. In particular, he offers insights into the thing-in-irself, which I referred to as noumenal reality, as well as a complementary perspective on my assertion that consciousness is more fruitfully contemplated in terms of process than in terms of substance (in the section “There is no such thing as consciousness”). And salient to the discussion in which my comment originally appeared, he provides a cogent outline of the distinction between consciousness and its contents (in the section “The faculty and the forms of consciousness”).
