Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network. Objective: To generate symbolic links between scientific discovery, design awareness and consciousness.
Consciousness is the result of an organized association of virtual elements, both seen and unseen, that together give relative substance to a single larger consciousness. Paradoxically this same consciousness is also the very source of its own awareness. Consciousness appears before human awareness as a kind of substance (matter), mind and emotions in a perpetual oscillation between form and formlessness.
Consciousness is the product of a communal awareness and is a natural consequence of creation. Virtual life forms share energy in a cooperative manner and create self- sustaining systems and structures as a means of survival. Together these configurations explore, discover and respond to their own unique situations in a holistic fashion as well as an individualistic one, combining their awareness’ in what appears to be as a “desire” to subsist within the environment in which they have their being. Every form of consciousness is likewise a form of microcosmic awareness existing within the context of a greater consciousness, an identifiably unique expression within a larger field of expression created by their own individual states of being.
Structural configurations are based upon patterns that originate outside the environment required for survival. These templates create the relationships between awareness and consciousness both seen and unseen, patterns designed to either step up or step down in vibration solely for the purpose of securing, stabilizing and communicating a steady transmission of energy from one state of awareness to another.
In total these patterns co-join and conform in an attempt to adapt to a greater field of energy in which they have their being and to which together they resonate. Each species in a sense, is an identifiable component made symbolically relevant by describing a particular vibratory relationship between a macro field of consciousness and the micro patterned components/ participants resonating about and within the influence of its field of expression. In this manner by design each microcosmic expression creates its own symbolic link with both its Source, i.e. the greater environment in which it has its being and assorted other fields in approximation of its surroundings. Each field thereby becomes an active participant and symbolic “bond” that represents a particular quality that together constitutes a greater field of awareness. In essence, these relationships develop and create a relative arrangement, construction and configuration to every situation encountered and/or experienced. In a nutshell this universal phenomenon coins the concept we describe as consciousness.

Organisms (forms) are patterned upon frequencies that appear to be the most appropriate for the situation; their materialization is the result of their striving for balance brought about by the exchange of energies within the constituency of fields at-large. Association, integration, and cooperation are fundamental to survival. The result of this perpetual quest for balance and harmony brings strength and adaptability in surviving the constraints of the environment. The concept of the survival of the fittest is merely an aspect of this persuasion. Greater fields of consciousness lend to better understanding and awareness of the highly convoluted and intricate relationships inherent to survival itself.* * *
The Ontology and Structure of Consciousness
Consciousness may be understood as the emergent outcome of a dynamic and organized association of virtual elements—both manifest and latent—which together confer relative coherence and substance to a unified, higher-order awareness.
In a paradoxical reflexivity, this same consciousness is not merely a derivative of these components but is also the generative source of its own self-perception. It presents itself to human awareness as a continuum composed of matter, cognition, and affect, engaged in a perpetual oscillation between states of form and formlessness (Chalmers, 1996; Varela, Thompson & Rosch, 1991).
This phenomenon is fundamentally collective in nature. Consciousness arises not in isolation but as a product of communal awareness—a structural consequence of creation. Virtual life-forms or energetic constituents engage in cooperative exchanges of energy and information, forming self-sustaining, adaptive systems. These systems navigate their environments both holistically and individually, expressing what might be considered a systemic impulse toward self-preservation and continuity within the energetic contexts in which they exist (Maturana & Varela, 1980; Capra, 1996).
Each instantiation of consciousness may be conceptualized as a microcosmic node—an individuated locus of awareness embedded within and expressive of a greater macrocosmic field. These microcosmic expressions are not merely fragments of a whole but are symbolic and functional extensions of the larger field of consciousness from which they emerge (Wilber, 2000). Their uniqueness lies in the specific configurations of awareness that they manifest—configurations arising from their relational positioning within a broader ontological matrix (Bohm, 1980).
The structural basis of these configurations is determined by archetypal templates that pre-exist and transcend the immediate material environment. These templates operate as ontological blueprints, mediating interaction between different states of awareness and levels of consciousness—both visible and subtle. They function by modulating vibrational states of energy to stabilize the transmission of information and experience across dimensional thresholds (Sheldrake, 2009; Jung, 1969).
These patterns are not static but undergo continuous adaptation in response to changes within larger energetic fields. Each species, form, or energetic configuration can thus be understood as a symbolic expression of its vibratory relationship to a broader ontological context. These relational fields generate a symbolic resonance, constituting meaningful “bonds” that link the individual microcosm to both its Source (the macro-field) and other proximate systems (Laszlo, 2007).
Through these symbolic and energetic interrelations, each entity becomes a co-creative participant in a unified field of consciousness. The qualities and configurations of individual expressions interact to produce emergent structures of meaning and awareness, dynamically reconstituting the field through feedback and resonance (Kauffman, 1995; Prigogine & Stengers, 1984).
In conclusion, consciousness is not adequately explained as a mere byproduct of neurological complexity or material systems. Rather, it should be understood as an ontologically foundational phenomenon—emergent, symbolic, and structurally recursive. It is simultaneously the creator and the created, engaging in a self-referential loop that gives rise to the multiplicity of experiential and existential states across scales of being (Whitehead, 1929; Barad, 2007).
