> dhw:The IM is within the cell/cell community, and of course my hypothesis depends entirely on cells being conscious! (But cellular consciousness is not the same as human self-awareness.) That is why I keep repeating the unequivocal declaration by different experts in the field that cells are sentient, intelligent, cognitive, decision-making beings. The fact that you dismiss the very possibility of cells being conscious does not invalidate the findings of these experts or the hypothesis that I have based on those findings. Once more: my autonomous IM is conscious, and if it wasn't, it could not be autonomous. - In a way you are joining me. I propose a universal consciousness, and every living thing could be part of it, but I favor control thru the UC.
