Re: life=awareness hypothesis/idea

One thing to add is that Neptune entered Aries on the early evening
of Monday 26 January 2026 (18:34:27 CET apparently). And it was at
one of the evenings after that, most likely on the 27th or 28th as
I wrote in my first post, but cannot exclude the 26th for certain,
that I was skimming over the articles in "Consciousness and the
Universe - Quantum Physics, Evolution, Brain & Mind", edited by
Roger Penrose, Stuart Hamerhoff and Subhash Kak...

It was maybe the 3rd article, "Does the Universe have Cosmological
Memory? Does This Imply Cosmic Consciousness?" by Walter J.
Christensen Jr., that primarily helped me to get to this idea from
combining my previous knowledge about life and entropy with esp.
an article referenced there, "Über die Entropieverminderung in
einem thermodynamischen System bei Eingriffen intelligenter Wesen"
by Leo Szilard (a contemporary of Einstein with personal contacts)
in 1929, and maybe also another article, the 23rd in the book,
"The Stream of Consciousness" by William James, as I just noticed
now really from 1892, had been thinking that that was a typo for
1992, because it (or maybe also some other articles?) did insinuate
I guess also discrete steps in consciousness, as I already thought
on my website.

Difficult to see where this all will lead, but I suspect that QM
will be involved, too, discrete steps, creating order, reminds all
also quite a bit of measurement process and the like, and maybe,
just maybe also the action S going in circles, path integrals also
as where life goes, will see...

And, by the way, a bit sad that the only two articles that so far
really seemed to have been helpful were very old, 1928 and 1892.

Tomorrow in the later afternoon will be the Saturn return,
the 3rd of the 2nd cycle, I hope it will bring happiness...
