time = consciousness

They're the same, aren't they? The two are inextricably intertwined. In Quantum Mechanics, it is energy and time that are conjugate variables, like the more famous position and momentum. But in the world of experience it is time and consciousness that are thus entwined. No aspect of C is thinkable without time - not even the building up of the image on the internal TV screen for the internal little man or homunculus to view. Similarly it is C that brings time to life, breathing fire into what would be otherwise just a coordinate, as Hawking would say.
