They map four nested levels of it (cellular, local inter-areal, global, lateral) onto conscious state, phenomenal content, access and phenomenal character. My comment on it, with full references, is a preprint on Zenodo: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23478413">What the loop carries</a>.</p>
