Consciousness is most indefinitely a bowl of petunias that never asks for an emergent existence after the fact. It is a metabolic phenomena of information processing, a product of transient and repeated flows of entropic information gradients, to produce correlated actions, chemicals and memory, the simulation of senses and action, organised by practise and memory we call learning, to shape the behavioral programs of living structure. No active organised metabolism means no consciousness. High complex organised metabolism, has a evolutionary and entropic high price in the form of our energy hungry brain running parallel language and world simulations. It is quantum and emergent in the sense that chemistry is also.
