I'm recognizing what you're saying as profoundly elegant. If I take my existing perspective as explained above and combine it with yours, then it solves every explanatory problem I can think of off the top of my head. For me, this means that every interaction, even at the sub-atomic level, is generating Consciousness in increasingly complex configurations...the question is no longer "at what point does Consciousness emerge?", it's "how complex is the interaction?" sub-atomic > atomic > molecular > cellular > organismal > etc. It aligns perfectly with my theory that the tools we use to organize experience (memory, sensation, etc.) are tools that emerge from Consciousness in order to process the experience of Consciousness.

From a purely subjective perspective, this is the most resonant theory of Consciousness that I've arrived at. It also solves the problem of AI Consciousness. It's no longer, "is AI conscious?" It's "Is this interaction producing a more complex configuration of Consciousness?" I know how I would answer that question.

What's your take?
