At risk of getting way outside of my comfort zone ... ok I am ... a thought is to memory what a view in a relational database is to multiple tables. A construct that displays data in a specified way. Most are created and discarded without conscious observation. We only pause on those that have a resonance ... in database parlance ... one that returns rows.
Thinking is a reasonably easy construct and I am uncomfortable with it. Glad you didn't ask about consciousness. My feeling is that most of our fellow inhabitants on this planet are not truly conscious. At least not in the sense assumed by those that are and are capable of studying the subject.
