>Level 0: Inanimate objects like rocks. They move when moved by something else but not on their own. If you want to explore it deeper - take a leaf. It is like a rock not moved by itself. But wind can pick it up and move it. Now the question is - does the leaf happen in a way that it can be moved by the wind by accident or there is some "intelligence" behind it? See that moving leaf is exactly like any moving object is not moved purely by itself - when you move it happens together with other forces like gravity and friction (rubbing? not sure how it's in English) and so on. So maybe rock is the same in this way just it requires more (or better say different) energy to move as you require different energy to move compared to a leaf. If you look this way everything is conscious and works together, there is no single, separate entity anywhere in the Universe. And all things somehow working together on billions visible and invisible levels can be called consciousness.
