I refer you to my rare posts where I suggest that the level is the
molecular level, and should include the glial cells, which in my
opinion (from diverse reading) handle to information.
I also defend the idea that an amoeba, by being unicellular, can be
seen as a cell being simultaneously a digestive cell, a muscular
cells, a liver cell, a kidney cell, a bone cell, and a brain cell.
Amoebas are not completely stupid and deserve respects, and so are
any each of our own cells, despite those cells in multicellular
organism have lost a bit of their freedom and universality to
cooperate in what is ourself.
Again, the bold quote illustrates comp, and the fact that the level
is lower than some thought.
Also with comp, consciousness is NOT a product of the mind. that's
still too much an aristotelian way to express the "identity" thesis.
Consciousness is not physical, it is the mental state of person
associated to machines, when those person develop *some* true belief.
So if dendrites and molecules are people, why not quarks and numbers?
Cells are people, perhaps. Dendrites and molecules lack self-
referential means, like quarks.
relative numbers does not lack them, but as 3p pure notion, are not
people, but people can emerge from them and their cognitive abilities.
