Ok, so here's some more proof that your subconcious is in a hierarchy. I found this in the text book An Introduction to Brain and Behavior, Second Edition. [there is a torrent for this book]

-Hierarchy is manifest in the complex behavior of adult humans, in that it is a
mixture of many behaviors that are clearly recognizable in other animals, including regulatory behaviors, emotional behavior, cognitive functions, and more specialized, non regulatory behaviors seen only prominently in humans.

The addition and integration of new levels of complexity in the hierarchical organization of the brain is seen not only in adult behavior but also in the development of the human brain from infancy into adulthood. Hierarchical organization accounts for the increasingly more complex behavior that characterizes development as well. [my comment: the higher order more complex IRs are built off the lower order IRs]

The increasing complexity of movement and cognitive functions are manifestations of the maturation of successive levels of a hierarchally organized brain (see Figure E-2).
In addition, the abnormalities associated with brain injury and brain disease that seem bizarre when considered in isolation are only the normal manifestation of parts of a hierarchically organized brain.Through the principle of hierarchy,we can see that our evolutionary history, our developmental history, and our own personal history are integrated at the various anatomical and functional “levels” of the nervous system.

Also this backs up the idea that your conciousness just points to the root of an IR circuit of your subconscious mind to "run" it

BRAIN ORGANIZATION SEGREGATES SENSORY
INFORMATION USED FOR ACTION AND FOR KNOWLEDGE
In the ordinary course of our daily lives, we operate under the illusion that our behavior is conscious.We believe that we give conscious commands to produce purposeful movements. Usually, we are unaware that many of our actions, even very complex actions, are performed without conscious control.We are unaware that we shape our fingers to the objects that we are about to grasp (Chapter 10).We are surprised to learn that, subsequent to temporal-lobe injury, we can reach for objects that we cannot consciously see and that, subsequent to parietal-cortex damage, we can misreach for objects that we can see.

This dichotomy between conscious action and unconscious action shows us that the brain segregates actions that require conscious reflection from those that require only action. Reaching for a handrail on a moving bus would not be an effective protective action if we had to think about it for any length of time before doing it. Much of our behavior can be divided into categories of knowledge and action. For example, basketball is a complex sport, and knowledge of rules and strategies is required to understand the game. But an experienced player probably gives little attention to rules and strategies and catches, throws, and shoots the ball almost automatically. Shooting a basketball can be learned in a single trial, but shooting it accurately takes many thousands of trials. Many skills can similarly be divided into these action and knowledge categories. Because the brain segregates action and knowledge, complex behavior also can be segregated into categories of largely more conscious and largely more automatic, as can brain regions.

The part about

Shooting a basketball can be learned in a single trial, but shooting it accurately takes many thousands of trials.

means that your concious mind must program your subconcious mind to act automatically.
