 Dennett’s and the Churchlands’ views fit naturally within a dynamic systems view of the neural implementation of cognition and consciousness, the view that unified consciousness is a result of certain self-organizing activities in the brain and interactions between brain and world. Dennett thinks that, given the nature of the brain, which is nothing more than neurons sending and receiving signals to and from other neurons, consciousness could not take any form other than something like a pandemonium of competing bits of content. The Churchlands don’t agree with Dennett about this. They see consciousness as a state of the brain, the ‘wetware’, not a result of information processing, of ‘software’. Both sides in this debate agree that it is unlikely that the processes that subserve unified consciousness are sentence-like or language-like.
