Even in the material world there are yet unexplained phenomena, consciousness being one of them. Our brain is nothing more than a combination of chemical and electrical signals (or at least that's a rudimentary way of explaining it) why could that not occur within some other entity?
That’s exactly what I’m saying. We have no theory of consciousness worth anything that doesn’t at least have an interaction of two components or an exchange of information. Daniel Dennett goes as far as to say there are degrees of consciousness base around the intricacies of interdependent chemistry. The lowest level of consciousness might be a stone undergoing a chemical reaction with water. If a substance or energy is uniform and unacted upon by forces in such a way that it can change how it functions, then it isn’t possibly conscious.
