I think everything you wrote is consistent with my current take on the mechanisms of consciousness. Our conception of consciousness is a mental model (schema) of a mental process (the channeling of information through the global neuronal workspace), and of course this mental model is built out of the parts of various other mental models (as analogies/metaphors), just like our mental models of everything else is constructed that way.
(Do tell me if you disagree with that.)
Looking forward to your subsequent posts exploring how this works in more detail! :-)

Yeah, I think we’re more similar than dissimilar. I’m sure the dissimilarities will pop up organically over time :)
Unrelated, I was recently enjoying some of your posts on the neo-cortex! Good stuff.
Thanks!
