Consciousness. Noun. the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.'

My Wife and I and our dog become aware of our surroundings when we awaken. I don't believe that is what distinguishes us from other species.

I believe self-awareness of an entity's own existence is a better term. Some mammal experts claim chimps and dolphins are aware that they exist. I believe that to be debatable. I believe only humans have the ability to be aware of their own existence in time and space.

"..The researchers hypothesize that brain states interacting with a quantum computer would generate an extended quantum superposition, perceived as an enriched conscious experience.."
