One should never refer to consciousness∖metacognition as ‘consciousness’ because of how strong the conflation of those things are under the common sense of the word, and I believe that there isn’t a need to salvage ‘consciousness’, we have better words for this exclusion, you can call it observer-measure, indexical prior, subjectivity, or experiencingness. Philosophers will recognise ‘subjectivity’ or ‘experiencingness’, but the other names are new, they are a result of the bayesian school being much better at thinking about this kind of thing than academic philosophers have been to the extent that I don’t see a reason to sacrifice clarity to stay in dialog with them.
I misunderstood your original point, and I am completely fine with using words like “subjectivity” and “experiencingness” for the sake of clarity. Perhaps those words should be used in the quiz if the original poster intended to use that definition. The original poster was frustrated by the lack of clarity in consciousness discussions, and I think definitions are (partially) to blame.
