Modernity sees state as the building block of reality. Quantum dynamics says it is POTENTIAL through constructive and destructive interference resolving into state in the moment of now (a continuously transitive and ephemeral moment.)

Is it so hard to see consciousness as the domain of existential POTENTIAL, and living systems as a feedback loop into this echo chamber of potential?

Does potential not sound more like consciousness than the arrangement of state?

If I'm reading you right, I'd say post-chaos maths and post-computing revolution it's much easier for us to see process, not state, as the crucial element (see Ted Chiang's Exhalation). Whether that process requires QM... that's so far above my pay grade I don't even have an opinion.

Not process.

Potential is composed of the super-amplitude. Process would be the physical system influencing the resolve (which may vary allowing different technological approaches, i.e. organic or silicon or otherwise.)

QM exclusively allows this super-amplitude. No physical process can compare, yet without some physical medium the amplitudes would be unbound.
