Consciousness is recognisable as a certain activity, even what seems to be passive reception is a saccadic grasping. This belongs to a multitude of separate functions in a polyphony, each with its own history and goals, past and future not all of life, certainly, but all that is gathered in the conscious, is lit up. In terms of function each has its own subject, or actor, but wat make it conscious is the unity of the subject, the original experiencer. This is not something added on, is not a posterior construct, but is more than structural, is without thought or option, grounding.
