Considers what is meant by the 'hard problem of consciousness', and what sorts of questions, tools, and techniques would be necessary to address it. Identification with the concept of time is proposed and connections between that concept and the notions of 'choice', 'change', and 'causality' are developed as a basis for the real, as conceived within the context of the scientific method.
