By conscience being vapor I mean that if you put the circle you drew under a microscope, you might find that you've set a boundary where nature has not placed any.
Well, you have a problem. You interchange consciousness and conscience as though they were synonymous. They are not. I have no clue why you think they are. Further conversation is pointless unless you define what in the hell you think those terms mean. Else we are talking past each other. That may even be your goal. It would fit with your body of work.
