I think attention seems non physical to us or at least some of us because it isn't collecting the necessary information about itself to inform us otherwise. It's job or function is to attend operations, it's not the body model - anfd in the process of doing that job and by reference to the information it does have access to it can seem very different from other things. We cn move it around inside of us, or even send it out into other places..real and imagined. We grasp (or most of us grasp) that we aren't actually going to those places, arent actually moving into our toes or moving into our fingertips. The body model "seems physical" though, huh? Here again, I think, on account of the fact that it is (and explicitly is) collecting that information.
I chuckle a little everytime I hear someone start talking about how, in future, we'll have simulated entities in our robots. Already one living rent free in my head. No matter what we are, and no matter how we are produced, and regardless of whether there's one stuff or two stuffs or just one but it's really the Other stuff.....we can already definitively say that consciousness is not exactly what it purports itself to be, and doesn't actually have the abilities it seems to.
