Consciousness is the subjective experience of the mind(sensu biosemiotics) made possible with a symbolic memory.
The mind exists in sign relations.

cogito ergo sum

We don't know our brains well enough to come up with definition of consciousness that would be usefull outside of philosophy. As we know, philosophy is useless itself, so we can't have a usefull definition of consciousness yet

Consciousness isn't real, it's an illusion of our minds in the same way free will is.

Just because you're an NPC doesn't mean I am. Plenty of people are p zombies but there's no reason to project that.

My thought is that consciousness is the sum of all senses of an organism at any moment in time.

The fact that we can talk about consciousness means it's not some byproduct of brain activity or some extra field that is generated like a magnetic field or something. Consciousness literally is the brain itself because how would our brain get information about the consciousness in order to discuss it if it was separate at all.
