Then it's time to return to the rest of your comment - the whole discussion so far has just been about that one claim, that something can be neither conscious nor not-conscious. So now I'll quote myself:
By "coarse-grained states" do you mean that, say, "pain" stands to the many particular neuronal ensembles that could embody pain, in something like the way "human being" stands to all the actual individual human beings? How would that restore a dualism, and what kind of dualism is that?
