@Drastam I address this issue in Video 4. I've depicted the CAS as being "nodular", mainly to keep the diagrams simple. However, as I say in Vid 4, my own non-expert opinion on this CAS is that it's more dispersed & distributed, and likely exists amongst the neural jungle that resides between the mid-brain and cortex. My real hunch is that the module where the real-time external activity is depicted, is the thalamus. However, ---- cont'd in next comment.
@jeffkosmo --- in the interest of keeping the videos as short and straightforward as possible, I had to "cheat". I'm more inclined to consider that there are more than 2 "screens" of activity. One for long term mems, one for extremely short term mems, and a third that actually portrays the raw external environment. The second one effectively is continuously hypothesizing about the various objects in the environment, doing kind of what Dennet refers to as "multiple drafts". Stay tuned...
That gave me a lot of insight
I never expected so much inf ormation in so a short video.
