The subconscious is the ongoing accumulation of sensory, emotional, learned, and traumatic experience processed largely outside conscious awareness.[:cite[1]{ln=2}]–[:cite[1]{ln=4}] In this framework, it is not a hidden storehouse of repressed desires; it is a dynamic processing system that continually updates models of the world and the self.[:cite[1]{ln=2}] It detects patterns, calculates probabilities, generates impulses, and consolidates memories.[:cite[1]{ln=5}] Consciousness is therefore understood as the aggregate output of this larger process, rather than as the mind’s executive controller.[:cite[2]{ln=1}]–[:cite[2]{ln=6}] An intuition, for example, is the conscious experience of a subconscious computation that has reached the threshold of awareness.[:cite[1]{ln=6}]–[:cite[1]{ln=7}] ==In short, the subconscious is the largely nonconscious, temporally integrated processing activity from which conscious thoughts, intuitions, impulses, and aspects of identity emerge.==[:cite[3]{ln=1}]–[:cite[3]{ln=2}]
