Really interesting view, and I think the author is in the right direction indeed. I think what's missing if this theory really wants to explain consciousness, though, is something to account for qualia. That my brain has a model for the world I can understand, but why are specific attributes of the model experienced in specific ways? The theory explains the "intuitive experience that the sky I'm seeing is blue", and it also explains why that is separate from the "verbal/linguistic/logic knowledge that it is indeed blue" but it doesn't really explain the characteristic of blueness itself that I'm experiencing when I see it.
