It is interesting point, about which I has been thinking a lot. Moreover, I think that I have seen a phylosophical paper, which tries to defend this idea many years ago, but I didn’t preserve the link.
The idea of what you called “consion” may be useful in solving so called “measure problem” in the infinite universe. If consion exists, it has different probability of visioting different “slices ” and thus we could calculate probabilities.
If it doesn’t exist, all possible slices are equal, and in that case most strange and complex ones should dominate, which contradict the fact that my expirience is rather simple.
Surely, we may not call this “consion”, but using terms of “blobs of probability” or “biggest part of my measure” (often on some lesswrong writing) is even more confusing and looks like “misterious answers”. There is much less mysterious In the “consion” , consion is just similar to an elevator which moves between different floors of the building.
