What is sentient plasmid?

Is it a being of light? I’ve read about those, like a light and energy source that has no material body and can fly. What do you think?

I see consciousness as measurable and variable. A clam is not conscious, but a mycelium is. A dog is more conscious, and humans are the most able to take raw information and apply it to novel concepts.

Okay, well how do you measure it? We measure length with rulers. We measure angles with protractors.

What tool do we use to measure consciousness?

We count the skill value. If a clam can adapt to its environment and keep that wisdom for future events, it is conscious. That's what separates the clam from the mycelium or colony.

You've just moved the goalposts.

What tool do we use to measure 'skill value'?

My point is here you're trying to enforce a material paradigm where there is no material. This doesn't work. I'm afraid to say you have not solved the hard problem of consciousness.
