Swami Sarvapriyananda might hear this definition and take it further. I think he might point out a distinction between "consciousness" and "mind"--a distinction which can be very helpful in this type of discussion. I loved your two-part interview with Swami S and also this very interesting conversation with Anil Seth. Many thanks for your excellent videos!
