There are no sentient details going on that you wouldn’t perceive.
I think we’re spinning on an undefined term. I’d bet there are LOTS of details that effect my perception in subtle and aggregate ways which I don’t consciously identify. but i have no clue which perceived or unperceived details add up to my conception of sentience, and even less do I understand yours.

You’re equivocating between perceiving a collection of details and consciously identifying every separate detail.
If I show you a grid of 100 pixels, then (barring imperfect eyesight) you will consciously perceive all 100 them. But you will not consciously identify every individual pixel unless your attention is aimed at each pixel in a for loop (that would take longer than consciously perceiving the entire grid at once).
There are lots of details that affect your perception that you don’t consciously identify. But there is no detail that affects your perception that wouldn’t be contained in your consciousness (otherwise it, by definition, couldn’t affect your perception).
