How A-consciousness can in principle be understood in mechanistic terms?

A-consciousness is the phenomenon whereby information in our minds is accessible for verbal report, reasoning, and the control of behavior.

After 52 years of life, I'm pretty sure (by direct experience) that I'm not just a machine, and that no purely materialistic view is adequate to explain human personality.
