Thanks David, I'll try to address your questions/comments hereT: "... I don't see the necessary reason for a conformation wave proposal. Can such a wave be observed? I realize that part of the reasoning, I think, is the rule of conservation of energy, which can neither be made nor destroyed. So if there is one wave there must by its counterpart. But the actual connection to TI escapes me so far.-... How could the material universe invent consciousness unless it already existed from the beginning?"- An offer wave alone cannot create an observable event -- you need a confirmation in order for real energy to be transmitted from one entity to another, which is how we make observations. Offer waves are essentially only carriers of possible energy. It is the transactional process that enforces energy conservation. If you've heard of 'virtual particles', these (in a rough sense) are unconfirmed offer waves, and they can violate energy conservation.- As to your second question, I agree that consciousness is probably present 'from the beginning', and becomes manifest at the higher levels of organization. I agree that it's very hard (if not impossible) to get consciousness to somehow emerge from purely physical matter that is considered to have no aspect of consciousness.
