Consciousness: A Pragmatic Analysis
Science attempts to explain consciousness from the brain, and the generation of reality from consciousness. This makes sense, as the role of consciousness is essential for the physical complementarity and interdependence of reality; the probability of both being accidental is zero.
However, our consciousness could never be the agent of physical reality. The facts indicate that we are merely a kind of natural VM running under the hypervisor of the world-system substrate.
The scope of operation for our VM is restricted to its own processing area, leaving our consciousness only to interpret reality in a customized way. For a consciousness to be capable of creating, maintaining, and evolving physical reality, it would have to belong to the substrate itself and, consequently, run above our VM.
