sounded reasonable until i got to the point where i could
conclude that 'sandstone is self-aware' from your text.
matter, time (motion), energy, and space yes. something (matter)
has to be doing the existing; if it can change it needs time;
for any change to occur, forces (energy) must be exerted to make
it happen; and all this must have room to do so, in.
even if there's no observer.
time (motion): 1 dimension (forward, backward)
energy: 1 dimension (more, less)
space: 3 dimensions (up/down, east/west, north/south vectors)
matter: many dimensions/properties: mass, electromagnetic
attributes, chemical reactivities, nuclear aspects... etc until
we get to consciousness (on earth, in the higher primates
outside of political office)
consciousness is an incidental attribute of serendipitous
circumstances*. (and, so far as we can tell to date, scarce.)
also see "the origin of consciousness (in the breakdown of the
bicameral mind)" by the late dr. julian jaynes.
* which very well may have been by design.
