A strong theory of consciousness would subsume material reality, the so-called “laws” of the physical universe, and the “not so constant” universal constants[2] within its explanatory rubric.

Rather, we shall regard the brain as a neurologically localized utility that serves a much more extended “mind,” or “psyche,” or “consciousness,” that far transcends the brain in its capacity, range, endurance, and subtlety of operation, and that is far more sophisticated than a mere antenna for information acquisition, or a silo for its storage.…[3]
