My peoples! Now you got it...within and without...consciousness is the construct and the construct is consciousness. Both sides of the looking glass. There are bad truths.
Sounder: Models create correspondences between categories. Models that create more connections and correspondences will be ‘better’ or more robust. Most people think that current modeling provides plenty of correspondences, but we are living in a fishbowl and there are infinitely more correspondences yet to be established.
drevil: You could also argue that more connections create complexity, which in turn creates instability. The simplest systems are often the most robust.

Consider neuronal development.

Exactly. Humans with their big, messy brains are far more susceptible to failure modes. You don't see stupid animals going on shooting sprees, thinking they're Napoleon or obsessively organizing all their bananas in straight lines.

What should I consider about neuronal development? Its entire evolutionary history? How it functions in humans? How complex or simple it is, and by what standards complexity or simplicity is measured? I don't even know if you're arguing for simplicity or complexity.
Being vague for the sake of being vague only makes you look like a tool, or that you don't really have a clue and are incapable of going beyond lame one-liners.
