Solaris ? Do stars dream of being a Sun and what they can do about it ? (master SF)

- but is he talking about.. _frozen_ mass imagination (or snapshot hallucination) ??

- consciousness? - yes, lots of it is there, as of many other beings caught by _Language Models_

.

Solaris asks way more questions than it answers. How does a planet evolve a sentient ocean? Did the ocean arrive from elsewhere to a dry planet? On what substrate would sentient oceand form and how would they reproduce?

If forms could evolve (self or own factors), multiply it by infinity to find 1 at least (as we are) ?

(aside of a a joke that the universe (with us as a part of it) is not evolving but computing a number (42 exactly) - which eventually may become real thanks LLM) [Lem:Dick .. (Adams)]
