This looks an interesting subject! Introspection is a bit of a difficult research assistant, but in some cases, the best that we have.
A minor point, you write that
and also that the term 'luminosity' is already in use in a related, but different sense. Would it then not be clearer to simple call it 'self-awareness'? Or something else, say 'lucidity' (I'm sure there's something better), if you want diverge from what's normally meant with self-awareness.
Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the sequence.
I think it doesn't hurt to have a term that calls up not only the notion of self-awareness, but also the attitude that Alicorn is creating about it. It will also help indicate the coherence of the sequence.
I love the standard that LessWrong.com sets for philosophy, and will be extremely pleased if this sequence can meet that standard on such an important topic!
