It is the phenomena of motion within formless formational representations of objective
reality,within the illusional backdrop of a relative universe?

I have no more idea of what consciousness is than the next bloke, but I go with the theory that it's emergent. The fact that it's associated with certain physiological activity doesn't rule out the possibility that it may exist beyond the confines of the brain. So long as we don't know what it is, we can hardly be justified in making dogmatic claims. Let science do its stuff, then maybe our descendents will know for sure and the ill-founded assumptions and assertions will come to an end.
