Paulo, your questions are fascinating and important.
The analogies wghich seem heuritically valuablke to me in dealing
with large distributed meme-plexes as virtual organisms capable?? of
consciousness are:
Pask's intra & trans body P-individuals,which hold conversationsd that
constitute higher level P-individuals, and Minsky's Society of Mind
communicaying agents etc.
and Daniel Dennett's multiple-frafts consciousness conjecture.
good luck!
gary Boyd.
