See, the irony of this thread is that I'm trying to treat mind as NOT a special case, or a magi-mysterious thing, but as something intrinsic to matter.
Then you should perhaps demonstrate the existence of mind in matter which isn't organized in a structure permitting information processing.

You should perhaps answer my questions instead of eliding them, that would be the courteous thing to do. (Also, I didn't say that energy transfer is mind, asked what energy transfer might fuel the process. This is the second time in this conversation you've tried to impute to me a position I don't hold. Stop doing that.)
ETA: Y'know what, never mind. I'm done with this discussion.
