Was developing a descriptive model of consciousness based on information theory for submission in an essay writing competition.

The goal is to enumerate aspects of consciousness in a definite and objective manner and try to reach a coherent description of it.

The paper might seem to share elements with karl friston's definition of modelling brains as Bayesian inference machines,usage of amount of information measures in Tononi's IIT and Wittgenstein's private sensations (qualia) in his private language There are some other subtleties which might seem like novel arguments about it.

There is a thought experiment with a conjecture , it's something which can't be ascertained individually,it needs third person unbiased perspective,one of the reasons it's being posted here(under the section:Some Thoughts A Thought Experiment)
