Hi--hopefully this does not come across as obtrusive given we aren't a subscriber! We just wanted to comment on your Consciousness Labels essay and thank you for writing and sharing it.
We first read it around the time it was posted, but had been thinking about the terms as a system before then. We were very confused by the framework when we first encountered it on Tumblr, and it caused our core member some distress that we could not fully understand it or how it worked in relation to our own system. I even have a quote from them that was written almost exactly one year before you posted your essay: "Finding out about monoconscious and polyconscious lately made the intrusive thoughts on reality and doubting myself 100x worse."
We've since been able to distance ourselves from the framework, which has been better for us, and your essay had a part to play in helping us do this. Thank you.
