In revisiting the independent corroborative 
functionality of consciousness I wonder how
many different aspects of consciousness can
exhibit IC factors (independent corroborative
factors). What role does the whole which seems
to be greater than the sum of its parts, play
in affecting the parts?

What I mean to say is how does the performance
of our team affect all the individual *players?
Consciousness seems to be a team effort 
especially since we cannot forget consciousness
while thinking but not being blind to the team
the *players and the environment in which our 
team must play. Surely I cannot be denied that
consciousness is a team effort, perhaps even a
greater team effort than we may, or I may
initially presuppose.

In a metaphysical sense the team is just a 
collection of *players, a combination of actors 
or a topology of acting methods. I am using the
term acting method in the sense where each 
unique actor can be idealized as a set of acting 
methods. Our team, which I wish to moralise by
idealizing it as our "sporting team", also has a
captain and a coach and hopefully a manager. The
owner of the sporting team must necessarily be I,
unless I have sold my soul to some other team.

What I wish to question concerns the methods which
exist, if any exist, that may support the idea
of team failure causing the *players to shoot
themselves in the foot or run off at the mouth.
Likewise what is it that may cause sporting team
success to congratulate its captain and honour
the coach?

How does the team support its players when we 
fully well know the sporting team is comprised
of all its star players each acting out their
own agendas? This is indeed a symmetrical
relationship if it indeed exists, and what type
of "material knowhow" must be in place in order
to support such a complete sporting team?
