Fundamental or emergent? What does that even mean?
Like nearly everything else in reality, you’d expect consciousness to be continuous, not integral. We know there are diminished states of consciousness by experience and observation. As such there wouldn’t be any lower limit on size of conscious objects, just smaller and smaller degrees of consciousness.
Yes, the laws of physics of course account for it. Everything that exists arises from physics.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoDo you mean the laws of physics that can only ever be abstractions of our subjective experience?
- hshehehjdjdjd 8y agoNo, I mean the laws that would still be making planets orbit the sun even if none of us were here to experience it, and indeed which had been doing for billions of years before we were here.
