I've put up a DOS freeware version of my AI development called the INGRID
THOUGHT PROCESSOR complete with Quickbasic source code, a tutorial and
examples. It literally allows you to 'see what you think' and with a bit of
practice it intuitively takes hold of your mental feedback systems. The
practice sessions can easily occupy hours at a time and are best done,
first off in creating maps of intrapersonal space, with someone acting as
an elicitor.
To get to what Lyle is asking you to imagine as consciousness will need the
real-time parallel version called Crystal Ball.
