But, to answer your question, if we make perception the base platform how are we to define it. 'Knowing that we Know' does not seem a very accurate description of perception. I could just as easily define it as 'To look behind the curtain of the perceived reality'
Notice the word perceived .... the verb form of the noun perception. Once you start using a verb to describe its own noun you are in an ever deepening spiral.
My opinion is that this spiral will eventually lead to a simple biological explanation as the base platform for what we describe as life and consciousness. My definition of Consciousness is Sapience. Sapience, I believe to be a biological effect of Evolution.
Just my thoughts .... This is what I was trying to point out to that old Turkish Delight Mkirkpatrick. rotflmao
Consciousness may well hold the key to the TOE, but Evolution holds the Key to the Cosmos.

Quite so you Aussie drongo,and evolution will reveal through the Cosmos that consciousness is the "outrider" of the will,which arises within LIFE ITSELF,which to us mere
immortals is but a darkened FLAME!
