There you go again, changing the subject from the 3rd axiom to the conclusion. 

Nobody disputes that the CRA has something to do with consciousness.

You fail to consider the 3rd axiom/CRT as standalone. You want to make it about 
consciousness, when it's really about syntax/semantics.

The 2nd axiom and the conclusion concern consciousness. The 3rd does not, and 
the CRT does no more than support the 3rd.
