"Mass in its nature is a very simple form of consciousness" -- I don't know. I would say it is the other way around. I.e. in order for something to have consciousness it needs to have mass. That follows from the theory of relativity because if something doesn't have mass then it moves at the speed of light (through space) but is standing still in time, ie. it can't experience the passage of time. But that doesn't imply that anything with mass has consciousness, or that it is tied to the specific massive entities like elementary particles, just that mass is a necessary prerequisite for qualia.,(reply>), @kyjo I think so. Being conscious is a process. Process is an abstract concept. Abstractions are without mass.<br>re "mass is a necessary prerequisite for qualia": yes, whatever qualia are, because there can be no process, no conscious process, without a substrate for the process to be of.,(reply>), @REDPUMPERNICKEL Is it somehow related to my comment?,(reply>), consciousness is how the outside gets inside so we don't walk off a cliff
