Do You think this might solve the consciousness problem? The more I think about it the more accurate and true it seems. Reading up and watching stuff about IIT makes me understand how sometimes the questions we ask about our conscious experiences are just bad question.
In this theory (to the degree I understand it) "blue" (as the visual experience if the color blue) is "blue", because it's sort of like a data point in the structure of your consciousness that cannot be further reduced. You feel like this answer is very insufficient, because "blue" certainly "feels" like something. But than the problem is that as you try to instinctively grasp what "blue" is exactly, you just end up adding more higher-level concepts on top of it (photons / wavelengths / the word BLUE / coldness / sky etc.). But maybe it is just a trap of our perception. Maybe "blue" is just a data point that cannot be reduced any further, that is "blue" simply because within this data set/neural structure it is not red or yellow.

I don't think so, maybe you don't understand what I am trying to say.
This is probably a horrible analogy but imagine it sort of like a basic binary turing machine trying to somehow dissect a single digit of instructions.
Your brain explains things in the world by creating high-level concepts, correlations. This simply will not work will Qualia, because Qualia are the most basic elements of your conscious experience. Because humans are intelligent in the way they are, they understand the existence of Qualia within their perception, but must fail in trying to understand them in the same way they understand the outside world.

Actually it's more likely due to postules causing ripples in the fabric of space-time interacting with the weak force in flow of the universe. Hence why it's comprehensible to say that consciousness is likely the causative result of us being in a simulation along the strings of the cosmos.

Someone needs to give a single piece of evidence that falsifies the existence of qualia, because all evidence in the field shows that qualia exists and can be manipulated consistently.
Denying qualia is denying the current results in the field, and is thus anti-science. You are a flat earther on this topic if you deny qualia.

i.e. would be probably most accurately called a "grain". Just because a subject is vulnerable to pseudo-scientific discussion that operates on playing with empty semantics (something that I am quite sensitive) does not mean you cannot have a meaningful discussion about it.
I suppose new-age books with quantum babble also made quantum theory itself a pseudo-science?

Yeah I believe P-consciousness andaccess (A-consciousness) play major roles in the subcutex of determining whether or not free-will is the passive sense of electrical signals mending with miceocapacitors in the brain. But rather I would like to also believe that consciousness of a wave flow pertaining to partical physics that's spread among the universe. So it's certainly possible that we don't have free will.

This is very exciting thought process. Just imagine the implications it would have with alien life.

Perhaps consciousness is just the simple results of us being part of a simulation hosted by much higher beings that we cannot simply comprehend. Perhaps this could be compatible with religion? Because who's to say those higher beings couldn't be called God? Very fascinating, indeed
