The hard problem decomposes with the assumption of panpsychism. Matter == mind, and done. That leaves the problem why we experience aggregated consciousness instead of distributed consciousness. The straightforward answer is that consciousness has a tree structure determined by information coupling resulting from neural activity. Our "top level" consciousness is the root of the neural covariance tree, which is formed by quantum entanglement in the brain. Thus consciousness is a hierarchical structure, at each level responsible for integrating information and choosing a new state.
