It seems to me a worthy goal: try to create a representation of consciousness that's durable and truthful, i.e., that accounts, somewhat, for all the strange, tiny, hard-to-articulate, instantaneous, unwilled things that actually go on in our minds in the course of a given day, or even a given moment.

在我看来,这是一个有价值的目标:试着创造一种持久而真实的意识表征,即这在一定程度上解释了在某一天,甚至某一特定时刻,我们头脑中发生的所有奇怪的、微小的、难以表达的、瞬间发生的、任性的事情。
