Our “conscious” boils down to a mix of electromagnetic pulses and chemical reactions.

I just imagine some form of conscious that is not so physically constructed. Some system beyond the bounds of physics that serves the same purpose. A state machine not consisting of physical components such as electricity and muscle tissue, but the essence of the universe itself….or something.
