The "[]p" half.
Both halves are conscious in the sense of processing information and
influencing action - as my dog is conscious and Bruno's jumping
spider are conscious.
OK. But non verbal consciousness is quite important, and much more
primitive, it is the p which becomes []p.
Note that child with one one half brain develops normally. The
remaining half brain build again an opposition between []p and []p & p.
On adults, this operation is much more debilitating I think, and the
pole []p / p can make years to take form, if ever. The subject can
become hemi-negligent (but I am not sure).

We're they always two minds, or do they become such when they can't
communicate?

You might even have solved it consciously but are amnesiac about it.
