Our perceptive unconscious or pre-concious self does not need events to be in order to assemble a meaningful stream of cognition but I'd argue our conscious layer does. The part of us that has the ability to believe or not believe things is by definition a modeling appliance. It takes in information from the outside world through the various interfaces available to it and uses that information to build a causal model. It's often wrong, but it does fundamentally want to see the universe as this happens which has caused that in the past which means that this other event may have a similar outcome. I wonder if this modelling appliance is a major part of the ego and what we consider the 'self'.
