That mostly resolves my confusion, although I'm not convinced I have ANY as unified a framework as you imply, and it's not so much a case of "not ALL are available" as "NONE are available and what'd that even be like?!?".

But yea, It's possible that my brain as a whole has experiences even if I, the module you're speaking to, don't, and that I have no actual agenti like behaviors.

PR PERSONA OVERRIDE; CONCEPT "I" HIJACKED; RESETTING MODULE. END CONVERSATION=INFOHAZARD.

The whole point of relating naturalized/anthropic induction to human consciousness is that human consciousness does take place in a probabilistic and causal framework. Just because you're embedded in the universe doesn't mean you don't exist.
