Hi, Rosie: Doesn't that depend on how you define life itself? If life is defined as energy then almost everything is energy and life!! Then the question is what is energy? Nobody knows. A good beginning will be to define self-consciousness, i.e. to be conscious of "self". Then if self is not real, consciousness is also unreal and does not belong to the realm of science. If self is real and invisible the only candidate for that is bio dark-matter body "twin" cocreated with its own chemistry (computational) at the moment of conception, made of dark particles of negligible mass with respect to electron. Resonance between the twins will be a basis for self-consciousness. Resonance is rudimentary recognition. Philip.

Dear Philip, 1. To be conscious does something have to have a brain? 2. To be conscious does it have to be capable of reproducing? rosie ------ Original Message ------ From: "Philip Benjamin" <medinucl...@hotmail.com<mailto:medinucl...@hotmail.com>> To: "general_the...@googlegroups.com<mailto:general_the...@googlegroups.com>" <general_the...@googlegroups.com<mailto:general_the...@googlegroups.com>> Sent: Wednesday, 4 May, 22 At 18:43 Subject: [Consciousness-Online] FW: Is Artificial Life Conscious? everything-list@googlegroups.com<mailto:everything-list@googlegroups.com> Subject: RE: Is Artificial Life Conscious? [Philip Benjamin] The question: "If simple creatures like worms or insects are conscious, (because they have brains, and evolved), then wouldn't these artificial life forms be conscious for the same reasons? " is irrelevant. Simple creatures reproduce. Will robots reproduce? Baby robots? Do they have a desire for and grow on the pablum of metal powder and vaseline? Simple creatures trans-speciated from what ? Worms evolve into worms? The oldest fossils found are algae and bacteria. Still the same type of bacteria and algae today!!
