Tony: So to recap:
>

• All life is comprised of 4 components: Energy, Information, Mechanics, and Consciousness.
>
• Consciousness is greater than and separate from, but dependent upon, the preceding three fundamental elements.
>
• Removal of any of the three fundamental elements compromises the ability of Consciousness to function.
>
• The existence of any of the three fundamentals individually or taken together does not explain consciousness because while removing one of the three fundamental elements compromises consciousness, it has been shown to function in a short term limited capacity without them. 
>
• This model makes no assumptions about a universal consciousness because it would have to be, by necessity, independent of the physical form. 
>
• Science can not explain the spark of energy that produces life or kickstarts consciousness.
>
• Science can not explain what happens to that energy after death.

-Thanks for the great clarity. My illusion to the complexity of the receiver is seen in the history of radio: first AM and then FM, but neither set could receive the other signal until they were combined in one radio with dual receivers.
