I think that those things you described are four different actions people can take. There is explore, classify, seek, and destroy. Certainly, we have preferences on what we like though. Interesting concept though of contiousness though.
The most similar ones are seek and explore, so I'd work to have a good differentiation of those. They are not the same. Seek implies something already known, while explore implies something novel, at least that is my interpretation. If combining seek and destroy and explore and create, seek and explore are quite interchangeable. As such, I'd set up as 4 different actions one can take.
I don't know how this relates to conciousness though, unless we're talking about how the conciousness interacts with the world.
As for understanding the way people think, I agree that understanding how they literally think would be a good thing to learn about. I can attempt to help, as I know about how I think, and how other people might think. It's really all about narrowing down possibilities, although there is always the possibility of a comprehension that is inconceivable or we forgot.
Oh boy, spin. Sounds mighty abstract and contrived. I understand the point, but the above problem in which you have a dichotomy with two separate, potentially unrelated, parts to it.
I really aught to finish my own theory. I'm busy replying to these posts though.
