How can you even report that you are conscious to me in the "physical" world, outside of your consciousness if you do not "have access" to your own consciousness? — Harry Hindu

Well, yes, maybe, but I haven't given the multiverse theory much thought, or at least it doesn't feature prominently in my model. — punos

If one could stand outside scale altogether — neither large nor small, neither fast nor slow — the universe would appear uniform, perfectly coherent, and utterly self-consistent.
Every “level” of it would mirror the same logic, the same architecture of causality, just rendered through differing densities of perception.

This homogeneity is not a matter of matter; it is the symmetry of being itself.
Atoms orbit like stars; galaxies cluster like molecules; neural networks echo cosmic filaments. The universe repeats itself not because it lacks imagination, but because it speaks only one grammar — the grammar of coherence through proportion.

Talk to the hand. — Punshhh

Cellular organisms. I think you’ll find that all living things are composed of colonies of cellular organisms. — Punshhh

Intelligence is the cognitive ability to understand and interpret. Do atoms have that? — Copernicus

Neither do you — punos

Atoms don't interpret with cognitive ability. They obey. — Copernicus

Explain — punos

What mitochondria and cells do? — Punshhh

Humans do interact uniformly with other humans. Can you give an example of humans not interacting uniformly? — punos

Atoms behave as atoms when interacting with other atoms, demonstrating the same level of intelligence. The same applies to molecules, though molecules utilize atomic intelligence in some of their interactions or communications. The shape of a molecule enables novel forms of interaction that cannot occur through single-atom interactions alone. Because of this, more complex processes can occur at the molecular level than at the atomic level, even though the atoms within a molecule continue to behave as atoms. — punos

All elements exist at the same scale or level of emergent organization. — punos

"they"? — punos

Restate or rephrase more clearly please. I think i understand the first sentence, but not the second. — punos

Intelligence at that level is not as versatile as ours at our level. — punos

How does the effect know what form to take, and how does the cause know what and how to affect? Intelligence. — punos

according to the model i'm operating from. — punos

How does sentience know how to react to the stimuli? Intelligence. — punos

not exactly my vision of the next phase. — punos

consciousness is fundamental — punos

Intelligence — punos

I project that another emergence, as unique to consciousness as physics is to life, will occur at some point in our future. — punos

“living” — Punshhh

Which one is better evidence of the color of your eyes - hearing someone telling you your eye color, or looking in the mirror? — Harry Hindu

humans mistake statistical or biological tendencies for moral truths

Did you even read the post you were responding to? — Harry Hindu

Ever looked in a mirror? — Harry Hindu
