                most of us except Robert Sapolsky while the *agency* of
                an electron or neutrino seems registered at *absolute

                suggests that perception, cognition, intelligence, even
                consciousness may well be a collective phenomena.   Our
                organs, tissues, cells, organelles, macromolecules,

                                    animals were not conscious (i.e.,

                                    what basis they had in experience

                                    for such an experience is the

                                    Because my cat cannot  describe his

                                    conscious.  This requires the

                                    non-linguistic beings that are not
                                    conscious.  I hope we could rule out
