There are plausible neuroscience-anchored theories of consciousness that provide mechanistic explanations for subjective experience (the 'hard problem' of consciousness), suggesting it may not be as mysterious as often portrayed.
Consciousness is ineffable because the full high-dimensional continuous state of the brain cannot be communicated—it is too large in terms of information content (roughly 10^11 pieces of information from neural weights)—and only the discrete attractor state (thought) can be symbolized and communicated.
