Abstract
The "global workspace" model would explain our performance capacity if it could actually be shown to generate our performance capacity. (So far, it is still just a promissory note.) That would solve the "easy" problem. But that still would not explain how and why it generates consciousness (if it does). That is a rather harder problem.
