It’s just a feeling that consciousness has to derive from something, and there may be a conservation of consciousness similar to the conservation of energy.

It also might explain how there seem to be different levels of consciousness. In a lower level of consciousness, the brain is acting like a poor lens.

I think we don’t know what consciousness is, but I posit that it is something more substantial than a bunch of electrochemical reactions, although it seems like electrochemical reactions are necessary for its existence as far as we can tell.
