Is consciousness more analogous to a script or a program?
What do you think?
-Jeff

update: OK....the point of the question is this:

The definitions of a script and a program are hazy. Making a distinction between the two is therefore difficult. Also difficult to define is 'consciousness'. The point of the question is to ask us in a simple way to attempt to make a logical comparison between things that we can't really define. And that is a situation we don't encounter often encounter in programming, but that we encounter constantly in life.
