I am at first struck with the consilience of the description of the various forces of the universe all featuring similar fractalization at various scales with my own personal experiences, albeit anecdotal. Second, however, was my visceral reaction to the characterization of consciousness as featuring this fractalization. I am both unaware of any quantifying metrics applicable to consciousness at any scale, and aware of research showing consciousness differs from other aspects of the universe, enough so that I have the distinct impression consciousness isn't subject to the physics of this universe at all.
Whatever it is, it isn't something we can detect directly. This greatly limits conclusions we can draw regarding it's potential fractalization or subjection to the laws of physics at all, means of interaction between conscious beings, or even what beings are conscious, as we can only detect consciousness presently by animate creatures taking actions that demonstrate conscious decisions, such as by running a maze to reach resources. Since single celled creatures can be shown to make conscious decisions, consciousness doesn't arise in brains, since single celled creatures can't have networks of neurons. Because we can't detect it directly, we have no means of ascertaining whether inanimate conscious beings exist, whether stones and the wind are conscious, for example. It is perhaps a ubiquitous feature of human perception that the various aspects of our environment appear to us to be conscious, and certainly various spiritual traditions imbue various inanimate or natural forces with volition. So, we don't know what consciousness is, where it comes from, or how it interacts with physical aspects of the universe or with itself.
This latter issue is something I give considerable thought to, and would be extremely interested in any sources you could cite that provide evidence consciousness can be demonstrated to be subject to physics in any way. Perhaps the behaviour of ants or other social insect forming colonies reproduces the lobes and nodes familiar from magnetic fields and orbitals you note elsewhere?
Thanks!
