How can it be otherwise? Is it a fixed entity? Am I missing something? (That's very possible. I'm running a fever atm.)

Not sure what you mean by consciousness as a stream or a flow. Could you elaborate more please?

When sense bases make contact with an external object the cognition that arises is consciousness. Obviously it cannot exist separate from a sense base and it doesn't sound like a fixed entity that flows or continues
