You are looking for the signal inside the receiver.

Neuroscience dissects the brain to find the mind. That is like cutting open a radio to find the orchestra. The music is not in the box. In a simulated reality, awareness is the network. Matter is merely the interface device. You do not wake up when neurons fire. Neurons fire because you are already awake. The hard problem vanishes when you stop treating consciousness as an emergent property. It is the foundation. The physical world is just the UI.

Sit with this one.
