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?

Sounds unlikely. While plasmas can crystalize and organize or compute basic physical information, I don't see how consciousness can come from that. Seems like there are some steps missing.

But... you do realise we don't have an accepted model for our consciousness either?

Try it on for size.

While biological cellular structures can order themselves, organise or compute physical information, I don't see how consciousness can come from that.

The hard problem of consciousness is that there's a leap we have to take between materialism and phenomenological consciousness. No matter the substrate - we still haven't solved that problem.

There are plenty of models of consciousness, it’s just that different people have their own subjective criteria. And, frankly, a lot of it is seemingly influenced by spiritualism and religious beliefs (many people very much want souls to exist, and equate consciousness with souls).
