B-Man Stra/Tac and the Definition of Consciousness

The B-Man Stra/Tac model proposes a comprehensive theoretical framework for the functioning of the mind. This paper extracts and elaborates upon the model’s definition of consciousness, focusing on key functional elements and including newly introduced concepts. Central to the model is the organon—the conscious, feeling component of the mind—characterized as a specialized, non-algorithmic problem-solving mechanism. This paper defines the organon functionally, explores its implications, and compares its structure and role with broader cognitive and evolutionary constraints.
