Consciousness doesn't really exist universally as a concept. It's purely a human thing.

For example music. Music is just a series of sounds patterned in a specific way. Not any pattern of sound can be music but a pattern of sound following a very specific set of thousands of human centric rules that are too complex to formalize represents music. A formalization certainly exists but writing it down or deducing these rules would result in something that's 10000 pages long. These rules are completely arbitrary and a product of biological evolution. Music in a sense is just a made up category of immense complexity but the key point remains the same. The category is made up and completely arbitrary.

The same can be said of consciousness. It's just a certain type of intelligence that posseses thousands of attributes that are too numerous in number to fully write down. Like music, the rules defining consciousness are arbitrary. It doesn't represent anything fundamental about the universe it's just a word very specific to the human experience.

This trying to understand intelligence through the "lens" of consciousness is a biased and erroneous venture. It's more an exploration of human biology then it is an investigation of a foundational universal theory of logic and intelligence.
