Emergent properties don't occupy a place, they are a 'state'. It's like asking "where is honesty".

that is what you are doing, but what about when you are aware of your thoughts?

Being aware of something lays no claim to it existing. If I'm aware of pink elephants or being persecuted does not add any weight to whether that is what is happening. The little man watching the little man think is just a vision we create, there is no need to believe that is the process that is occuring.
You're not working in a framework of emergent propertes, you're using layered sandwich view, which is too much of a physical view which won't work in emergent property situations. There isn't any 4th entity or even a separated 3rd entity that "is aware of thinking". The emergent 3rd entity "me,thinking" is quite capable of creating an impression of 4th, 5th, and 10th entities. Once you have a entity capable of recursion and creative conceptualizing there is no way to separate a 'visioned' 4th companion from an actual 4th companion.
So, occamized like I am, I keep it simple, luckyme
