Abstract
The Introduction provides a brief account to situate this work within the scope of his research, then outlines his objectives which are the search for evidence to validate the metaphor expressed in the title, the existence of a field of consciousness, a new guise for a proposed primary consciousness, and to possess the proposed inorganic DNA the structure of a quasicrystal, which is the new guise for the hypothetical inorganic DNA. Aiming this, in the Discussion and Conclusions section addresses some issues considered pertinent to support his hypotheses. Questions about the field of consciousness, life, and quasicrystals are discussed. Regarding the field of consciousness, he supposed that it exists and is similar to the neuronal electromagnetic field surrounding the entire brain, as postulated by Nicolelis. The author suggests the possibility of thought be the expression of the force of this field. In the discussion of life, he emphasizes having encountered the problem of life being necessary for the emergence of consciousness, which in turn necessitates the existence of life. This is a problem similar to those presented by Penrose, that of computational loops, and by Goswami, that of the intertwined hierarchy, all resolved by suggesting the existence of entities, which the author considers to be representations of a single entity, the Primary Consciousness. In the discussion of quasicrystals, he highlights the fact that one of their properties strongly suggests the involvement of Poincaré Resonances, suggesting to the author a possible and profound correlation between this property of quasicrystals and some of his hypotheses involving these resonances, both in the collapse of quantum waves and in regularity singularities. Finally, taking into account the results of the discussion on some aspects considered fundamental to the maintenance and initiation of life and on the properties of quasicrystals, he suggested the hypotheses that inorganic DNA has the structure of a quasicrystal and that it also has the necessary conditions for the existence of a type of life different from biological life.
