Well, either consciousness is in some sense foundational, or it is supervenient. If it is supervenient, then we'll need some explanation of how it supervenes and at one level. At any rate, I think we can all agree that whatever consciousness is, it must rest on the foundations set up by interactions at the smallest level, no?
