I think a better way of putting panpsychism is to say: what you are doing with your science is describing how consciousness behaves. So when you describe a simple system with maths, you are describing the consciousness of that simple system. Describe a complex system with mathematics and you are describing the consciousness of a complex system. You don't need to describe the transition from simple consciousness to complex consciousness with anything other than mathematics because mathematics already describes the transition that arises from the composition of simple objects. What it feels like to be a simple object vs a complex object is outside of the scope of science.
