It seems unlikely that consciousness is simple enough to be usefully projected onto a 2D or 3D map. I think you may be using a map to construct anchors, as they're referred to in NLP. Whether the technique works, and whether the map has any meaning or any non-arbitrary correspondence to your mind, are separate questions.

Yes, precisely. I do believe that I specified that the map was erroneous. If the comparison was unclear I apologize.

(On the other hand, if consciousness is an artifact of the brain, it must arise from a 3D object.)

The activity is meant to associate sensations on the edge of awareness to an arbitrary map.

NLP seems to encompass a variety of techniques which I developed for myself after reading the Bicameral Mind.
