The subject as feeling, this resumes both the subject as ultimate experiencer and as subjected, but leaves little room for subject as witness. The depth of involvement in experience is unfathomable. All of your ideas are there to model feeling, but then the ideas are charged with valences which in turn give rise to more and different feelings. This is not to say that ideas do a particularly good job with feelings, they are such a different kind of thing, but they limn consciousness and so render the greater part of feeling unconscious. An unconscious feeling is an oxymoron, but perhaps only because there is so little understanding of the nature and degrees of what is called consciousness.
