Yeah, binning conscious and unconscious as two categorical classes is probably wrong. There are likely gradations, especially in the context of working memory over time.
An interesting read is Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow that explains cognitive systems, 1 is subconscious and fast and the other is conscious and slow
Consciousness is the envelope. Conscious is a category of awareness.
My brutally downvoted comment implied this, with more conjecture of the envelope. Enable “show dead” if you didn’t catch it!
