Yeah, it's not like energy evolves or anything. But patterns of it seem to evolve as they become more complex. And actually with energy, most of the time it just 'degrades' as stated in the laws of thermodynamics. Currently, I think comparing consciousness to the 'timbre' of different musical instruments or something of the like would be useful, transformation being a morphing to a different instrument, although I think it would need more or less and 'different' material first, kinda like the caterpillar to butterfly. Anyway, I think this is good enough of a start for me at least, I think I'll check out some of
Radin's books while I'm still not too busy. He seems to have done some interesting research at least, the validity of which I've still yet to determine.
In any case, I'm still quite fond of the emergent pattern idea of consciousness, human consciousness that is, even if this pattern isn't strictly localized in the physical body, but rather may be some sort of information field influenced into existence by it, working symbiotically perhaps (with the idea of 'form' and 'intensity' that is), at a more abstract level, that is. The idea of resonation seems as though it might also be of some importance, although I don't want to force connections where there aren't any.
Seeing as the new semester at my university is starting soon though, as much as I enjoy talking with you all, I'll likely be taking a back seat to any further discussion, lurking for the most part, perhaps interjecting here and there, but probably not writing nearly as much as the walls of text that I have been, as I probably should... >.>
