oh i am definitely going to have to finish reading this as I am certainly an avid fan of the concept of consciousness itself being the substrate of reality. that being said, i don't necessarily viewing it through a panpsychist lens is entirely accurate as that perspective more or less tends to assume consciousness as some base aspect of material reality, and as such a base unit, but my own personal spiritual experiences and development in that regard have shown me that it is rather the other way around, that consciousness is the core metaphor, the non deterministic field of probability that constitutes reality, and more emergent and highly complex life forms also gained with their development a more strict set of deterministic rules to follow (instincts, genetics and such), and as such it would be more apt to suggest that material reality through the "objective" lens we (seek to) perceive it through is just the net output of running that core algorithm of iterate over time propagating some aspect of your essence, ideally in a stochastic system that allows for novelty to form, as really the pursuit of novelty is the only underlying force that, to me, can explain the wondered emergent forms that reality is known to take. not to mention the amazing correspondences between micro and macro scale experiences despite appearing to (which is likely in all reality illusory) be two separate connected-but-not-directly-related constructs. in any case i just always feel compelled to ramble when it comes to consciousness and the nature of reality. i should probably read the rest of the article now. sorry if my delivery or communication was not quite clear, that's a known pain point and something I have been attempting to address ever since back around 1991 when I, having caught the big dumb, evidently never got the memo on reasonable social interaction lol
