Layers 2, 3 and 5

Life is not an exception to physics. It is physics becoming aware of itself.

Consciousness is proposed as a graded physical property. It is present in some degree wherever organised, self-sustaining structure exists, and measurable on one continuous scale using the same substrate methodology as the rest of the programme.

The chain

Three conditions of sensing

01

Structural coupling

A specific configuration that can couple to a channel.

02

Information-specific state change

The response is signal-specific, not a generic jolt.

03

State persistence

The change is held long enough to integrate with other changes.

Scope and record

Consciousness as a physical grade

Layers 2, 3 and 5 treat consciousness as a graded property of organised structure, not an extra substance. Vijay's Law states that everything in the universe is alive and conscious to a degree. Evolution is read as directed movement toward higher grades of that property. Scientific spirituality uses the same substrate language for experience, death, and meaning, without a separate mystic axiom.
