It depends upon whether you believe consciousness really exists. If you do then it's irreducible and the problem goes away. If you don't then you have a career ahead of you.
The more interesting problem in consciousness studies is what is it that narrows conscious experience to the extent that we start to believe that it is produced by the (human and other animal) brain. There sometimes seems to be a force in the modern world that separates consciousness into individual beings. This is not a natural force but it seems to be produced by human activity of a certain unhealthy (i.e. unwholesome) kind. I think there are physiological explanations that take in the health of society as a whole, including the whole ecosystem in which we live. I think that ecosystem in many places is itself in an unhealthy state. In Sweden this sort of approach to public health is taken seriously, and it works.
I once had an opportunity to work with The Natural Step, founded by Karl-Henrik Robèrt at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm:
As head of the Division of Clinical Hematology and Oncology at the Department of Medicine at the Huddinge Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden and director of research at the Karolinska Institute, he conducted research and lectured widely on several forms of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma and lung cancer. ...
From his study of cancerous cells, he realized that “cells are the unifying unit of all living things. The difference between our cells and the cells of plants are so minor that it's almost embarrassing; the makeup is almost identical all the way down to the molecular level.” The natural and the human worlds are both built of cells. His studies led him to realize that cancer rates and other threats to global health, would only increase with increasing concentrations of pollutants and other unsustainable mechanisms. His focus on toxins and their health implications, led him to see the link between these and a systems perspective on future health.
... but it all fell apart for reasons I don't understand. Maybe it was because I smoked too much?
A derivative is linearisation, and differential calculus is essentially linear algebra, ... See Freya Holmér - Why Can't You Multiply Vectors? and Freya Holmér on Continuity of Splines .

Alan Edelman talking about expressing mathematics as computer code. The idea is that you can use computer languages to communicate mathematical ideas precisely to other people.

I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
