Maybe. I intended "how" to imply mechanism and "why" to imply an underlying reason for the "how". I'm not sure how to read post 52 otherwise.

For "what is consciousness", the brain appears to work on an electro-chemical thing that they haven't completely mapped out yet, but even when they do, I doubt it will explain why two different brains will give different thoughts with the same through-put.

I've got a pretty good proposition for a possible answer to that question: No two brains are identical. Chaos theory would predict that in a system as complicated as a brain, the smallest of differences in structure could cause massively different outputs, and differences in brain structure arent that small, as brains wire themselves partially based on stimulus during development.
