Transpose the 'hard problem of consciousness' within consciousness and it become the 'hard problem of the real'. Within consciousness anything that is a difference is a functional difference and hence is a signification. A world of significations can get along very well without a basis in a reality outside of or exceeding itself, all the drama of experience is already there, as it would be in the pages of a book. Part of this drama is the insistence on something more, a surplus of experience over itself, or perhaps more precisely, but in metaphysical terms, a surplus of experience as being outside of experience as becoming. So, is there that something more? Or is it just the structural twist in the system that keeps it chasing its own tale?
