Why do you think I'm suggesting any theory of mind at all? You're stating too much.
I'm just suggesting look for patterns and produce models of what you can observe about human subjectivity. Hofstadtr's "strange loop" being an example of one such model.

Well yeah, but the whole problem with subjectivity is that it consists in the mind's model of the environment feeding back into the sensory inferences as inductive bias while the feature data extracted from the sensory inferences also trains the model of the environment. Which is why people's first-hand "observations" aren't really observations in the scientific sense: "sensings" or "appearances" are actually theory-laden inferences.
