This speculative hypothesis explores cellular consciousness evolution, suggesting a new interpretive framework for biology.
This paper is a purely logical speculative hypothesis, currently lacking direct experimental evidence at the cellular or molecular level. It is not intended as a scientific conclusion, but rather offers a materialist interpretive perspective distinct from traditional biology and philosophy of mind, suitable for classroom discussion and critical thinking. The paper rejects animism, idealism, and other vague notions, grounding all reasoning in direct human sensory experience and objective biological phenomena. This paper continues the discussion on the evolution of life within the author's previously published four-part Fireball Cycle theory [11][16][19][20], attempting to incorporate fundamental perceptual consciousness into a unified planetary evolutionary framework.
