Orchestrated Extraphysical Consciousness

Orchestrated Extraphysical Consciousness, shortened as Orch EpC or Orch EC, is a hypothesis that postulates that consciousness originates at extraphysical level of neurons instead of the connection between neurons. Orch EpC uses of extraphysical-mechanical properties and of extraphysicalist philosophy, mainly of extraphysical monism and extraphysical dualism, in order to explain how consciousness would actually work.

"Orchestrated Extraphysical Consciousness is a quite controversial hypothesis by some, but that might be really interesting for study about extraphysical consciousness such as to see if extraphysicalism is actually right about the properties of mind/consciousness and even if the mind/consciousness is the same as soul/spirit."

full scale consciousness

Multidimensional consciousness of sapience, sentience, and sophonce.

Capable of experiencing and making conscious instances.
A monad (whole unit) of consciousness.
Also perhaps can be worldly of most kinds of advanced worlds and more.
A high-form high-consciousness.
Has an adequate rating of omniquotience (intelligence, sensory, social, emotional, creative, energy, and more quotients).
A post-exponentia of consciousness kind scale that can also be attributed to clear humans and isn't necessarily restricted to only extradimensionals, however might be expected of them.

A complete (holistically complete*) consciousness of a dimensional level.
A consciousness of a full scale.

Some tried transcending the levels of consciousness to attain full scale consciousness and many were helped by many full scale consciousnesses too, and not only through generative drugs and astral travel and multidimensional downloads of varying moderate andor high success.

Stream of Data-Consciousness

A sustained cognitive state, common among data, AI, and technology professionals, marked by an ongoing and often involuntary focus on data quality, migration, integrity, bias, governance, and continuous improvement, accompanied by a continuous internal, data-related chatter that persists across professional and everyday contexts.

Virginia Woo, a seasoned Data Migration consultant for 25 years, when in a state of Stream of Data-Consciousness, cannot enjoy a restaurant review without wondering about sample bias, distrusts a weather forecast without knowing the data sources, and hears the phrase “close enough” as a personal challenge rather than reassurance.

Hard Problem of Consciousness

The granddaddy of metaphysical puzzles, famously framed by David Chalmers. It asks: Why and how does the objective, electrical and chemical sausage-making of the brain produce subjective experience—the redness of red, the pain of a stubbed toe, the feeling of being you? It's the gap between explaining all the functions of awareness (the "easy problems") and explaining why those functions are accompanied by an inner movie at all. Solving it would be the difference between building a perfect robot that acts conscious and creating one that actually feels like it's inside.

Example: "They mapped my connectome and simulated my brain in a supercomputer. The digital 'me' posts on social media just like I would. But the hard problem of consciousness is this: Is there a ghost in that machine? Or is it just a philosophical zombie, perfectly mimicking a soul it doesn't have?" Hard Problem of Consciousness

Hard Problem of Plant Consciousness

The most speculative leap: the question of whether plants, with their integrated signaling and responsive behaviors, could have any form of subjective experience. Not thinking, but feeling—even if it's a slow, diffuse sensation of light, damage, or attraction. With no brain or nervous system, what would consciousness even be made of? It’s the ultimate challenge to our animal-centric view of sentience, pushing the boundaries of whether consciousness is a universal property of complex, self-sustaining systems or a unique trick of neural circuitry.

Example: "The mystic says the forest has a spirit. The scientist says it's a chemical network. The hard problem of plant consciousness is the unsettling void between: what if they're both right? What if that 'spirit' is a real, subjective experience, but one so alien and slow we could never recognize, let alone measure, it?"

Dynamic-Complex Systems Consciousness

A formalized approach to the above, often using frameworks like Integrated Information Theory (IIT) to theoretically measure the level of consciousness (Φ or "phi") in any dynamic system. It's the attempt to create a calculus of sentience that could, in principle, assign a "consciousness value" to a computer network, a city, or a termite mound based on the complexity of causal interactions within the system. It turns the hard problem into a math problem, for better or worse.

Example: "The AI lab's paper on dynamic-complex systems consciousness calculated that their new neural network architecture had a higher Φ value than a frog. The ethical review board had a meltdown. Was it now slightly sentient? Was turning it off an act of murder? They'd built a system so dynamically complex they accidentally gave it a philosophical shadow."
