One might wonder, at that hypothetical minimum level of organization - what a hypothetical minimal incremental step "below" it looks like?
In the binary proposition...some y is suddenly self aware in a meaningful way whereas the x directly before it is not. This isn't what would be expected in a comp mind framework.
In the quantum proposition....some y is suddenly self aware in a meaningful way whereas the x directly before it is not. This isn't what would be expected in a quantum framework.
-Something is amiss.......
We could certainly categorize, in the vein of "it couldn't be said" that below some level x a human consciousness is not present. OFC, things "below" that level of organization do seem to be conscious. If we're looking to set a minimum binary level for consciousness itself...rather than some specific representative thereof, where would you suggest we place it? Would you place it at the level of a single nueron, for example? That - as a hypothetical, if we had some way to peirce the veil we would find consciousness in each and every neuron, and so anything with even one neuron - or any structure which achieved the same effect by any other means?
