You can get a sense of what dissociation of consciousness, its partition into centres which can only communicate externally, is like, but it is less easy, perhaps to gain an understanding of its opposite, of combination. An example might be by way of the diverse faculties working together, or of the separate contributions of the minds belonging to the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This points to the way that you cannot judge by way of the feeling that your consciousness is a unity whether it is of necessity a unity, transcendental or otherwise, or whether your inner voice is more like a solo than a choir. The seams are not such as would appear in any self-representation because the structure of consciousness is far from transparent. For a panpsychist the combination problem is therefore not insurmountable. There is however some intuitive access to the invariant categories that underlie consciousness, although the translation of this into concepts is imperfect; there is some kind of binary, subject-object, inside-outside, perception-cognition, will-representation, etc. That the contingency of this meta-structure can also be somehow known or experienced is the only pointer to the ineffable.
