The data potentiality view of panpsychism in evolution.
Environmental data/information affects life. For example light will hit a living thing and introduce information capable of evolving into photosynthesis or sight. This data is basically a stream of information being transfered from the exterior world into the blob of life and the blob is continually stressed with this data. So the blob eventually goes on to evolve to deal with the stress of light.. this further evolved into photosynthesis or sight.
The information transfered is causing form of awareness because it is causing stress and physical reactions. The information was present in the life but life initially didnt use it. The light became a physical part of the blob. All the information for sight or photosynthesis was flowing into the blob, as far as the light vectors or energy. It started affecting its structures and the blob sought ways to deal with this stress and use it. Thus the blob became aware of it and developed it. Sight didnt evolve first, the data stream was present first. The awareness was first.

Okay, but why do you use the 'stressed' word for here, exactly?ajlannutti@aol.com wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 7:40 am The data potentiality view of panpsychism in evolution.

Also, why do you believe 'life', itself, did not initially use 'the information' that was present?
And, when and why, exactly, did 'life' decide to use 'the information', which was present?
Furthermore, what, exactly, is 'it' that has 'awareness', or 'is aware', here?

Why is there no sign of this data stream? Can you show that it exists?ajlannutti@aol.com wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 7:40 am The data potentiality view of panpsychism in evolution.
