The CTM can rightly take credit for making its suggestions (after all, they did come from inside the CTM) and can explain some of them with high-level stories (section 2.5), and as for what it cannot explain, it can say “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” It is the knowledge that there are choices-that it (the CTM) has knowledge of and about those choices and that it has ignorance as well-that generates the feeling of free will. Even so, although CTM does not consciously know how its suggestions were arrived at, except for what is in the high-level broad strokes broadcast by STM, it knows that its suggestions came from inside itself. To the CTM, enough is consciously unknown about the process that the decision appears at times to be plucked from thin air. Moreover, much of CTM, meaning most of its processors, is not privy to the unconscious chatter (through links) among processors. Many LTM processors compete to produce the CTM’s final decision, but CTM is only consciously aware of what got into STM, which is not all of what was submitted to the competition.
