Well, imagine a house sitting on pales. One would most likely accept the whole thing, including the pales, as one single house. If one were to remove the pales, one would still consider the rest a house. If one were to remove everything which is above the pales, the residual would not be considered a house anymore. I think it is the same with the intracranial and extracranial constituents of the mind.
The universe (lower case) is a single analog connection of time rates reflecting from connection. The pattern is identifiable in all phenomena including computational devices such as the machine Babbage designed. It has a driven shaft around the "ground state" central axis that is the standard for all constants combined to reshape the computation from "left to right" , in a "conservation of energy" program. The universal program conserving energy and controlling all phenomena is observable as the quantized mechanism calculating the "laws and mathematically related constants" in position and momentum. Uncertainty about the mechanism and processing is inevitable because a brain is basically a subroutine within subroutines of universal spacetime that only needs to approximate the local environment. So a human being is a tentative, self reproducing image of the whole, like a photo video out of focus. It's very successful in the biological sense, but the environment is not unlimited in support of common practices. Consciousness is part of the reflection process as the Mirror Test is able to show, because matching our self-image to the perceived environment by speeding up and slowing down timing rates preferentially to the "external constants" is the act of reactive thought, fast and slow in shape and duration.

All contradictions and incompatibilities are resolved ONLY when Consciousness is acknowledge as a separate Entity.
How so?
I wish he'd stop saying fucking "Right!" all the way through this!
