Reply to comment by Analog_AI in Researcher offers new explanation for consciousness by Dr_Singularity

Awareness would be just the representation of the data without the observer.

For instance, you can open a page of a .pdf document, in that moment the computer is "aware" of that data, but it can't actually "read" the document by itself.

Another good example would be dreaming, you can be "aware" (have memories and neurons firing) without being conscious to experience what's going on.

Interesting that you draw a distinction between consciousness and awareness.
