Quoted By:
I think ..... maybe consciousness is when you have many different partitioned areas of the nervous system or clusters of nervous systems, that become aware of each other, and then through the process of becoming aware of each other and subsequently each partitioned part becoming aware that the other is aware, they all become greater than the sum of their parts.
It creates a feed back loop of sorts, where each part is aware that the other is aware that the other is aware and on and on and on ..... In this way consciousness can be described in simplest terms as a feedback loop of self awareness.
