Elements of Consciousness

[Whitney]

To feel does it not imply that there is something ( entity )within the Conscious experience that is the recipient of the feeling?

We are talking about the system as a whole so it doesn't make sense to speak of the feeler as a separate entity.

Why would it not make sense. Lets say we have a consciouss computer, Now if we were to say it can see a monkey, Do we mean that each and every cmponent including its casing can see a monkey?
Or our we saying that an image of a monkey created by a camera has become the focal point of some set of components within?

The system as a whole sees the monkey.

If we replace the camera with a bit stream that is a recording of a camera output of a monkey, will the system cease to be conscious?

If I read one more word written by you, I fear, I will cease to be conscious.
