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.

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.
I think your comparisons with music, timbre and resonance are really interesting. But also the complexity of growth. Like a musical note has to be clear, this growth has to be 'completed' to a certain point to actually 'do' something.

A bit vague, I know, but I have no other way at this moment to explain better what I mean. But in order to resonate well, it has to be at a certain point.

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... >.>
Well, in any case you started some very interesting discussions. And you really have a way of understanding several viewpoints at once.
