In nature, smaller things do not ALWAYS steer toward joining larger things. Sometimes large things break down into smaller things, and those things go scattering off somewhere. This constantly shifting equilibrium between things that are together and apart is part of what keeps the universe ticking.
This "Small always joins large, and so it is with consciousness" thing you're doing isn't based on an absolute scientific truth, it's based on something that happens sometimes in certain systems. Your whole argument is very wishy-washy Deepak Chopra-esque and mostly depends on butchering the language you're using until it's devoid of meaning. That's not very scientific of you.
An elephant is a lot bigger than a man yet his consciousness is a lot smaller.
An enormous boulder as far as size is concern is a giant compare to a man yet his dormant and latent consciousness is billion years away from man consciousness or from the time that will evolve into vegetable life, animal life and reach human life.
What the size of something has got to do with the consciousness within only Santa knows.
Big things can brake down into minute things of course but that doesn't mean that the consciousness
get smaller.
In fact it is likely to get bigger that is why i mention the uranium example.
The consciousness within the matter has reach a stage in which no longer wish to stay in that dormant and latent situation so what does it do?
It just brake away which in technical terms we say.........radioactive decay.
After all this happen you may see the matter that is left but the consciousness is not there anymore.
This matter that has been left after the release of consciousness that in technical terms is known as energy still carry
some latent consciousness but it will take more time to emerge from that latent or dormant stage.
When you say.........This constantly shifting equilibrium.....is none but the separation of the consciousness from the matter.
Nothing gets smaller.
In fact it gets bigger.
But again is not even true that the consciousness get bigger.
What really happen is that the consciousness within everything and every body is already as big as God.
What is not big is the awareness that we have of this consciousness.
The iceberg visible is a tiny amount and the one under the water not visible is a lot larger.
The consciousness is the same.
We got the whole consciousness but we are only aware of what we can perceive so far.
