I thought a lot about consciousness between 2002 and 2008. Less so between 2008 and 2012 and hardly at all (formally) since then. But this is what I've come up with, in four sentences, as a summary of a summary:

Consciousnesses exist as vortices in the mverse.

The mverse is my word for the space made of attractive energy (which I call Love) that lies below spacetime, which Donald Hoffman, over at UC Irvine, has proposed is nothing more than a 3D desktop and we but icons in it--well, everything's an icon in it, to "be taken seriously but not literally".

We (humans) are composed of multiple vortices, corresponding to the icons of the chakras in one part of the world and glands in other parts of the world.

The interpreting consciousness I call a C1, the consciousness which tries to live its life in the mverse I call the C2; the two are co-centered, the C2 spinning faster and with a narrower diameter than the C1.

This leaves a lot out but it's the general gist.

If you're at all interested in the background to this thinking I have a map (cross-linked) and private blog that goes into it in more detail. 

Here's a diagram from 2009:
