This article suggests that consciousness is a state of matter. Well, yes. It's kind of like how little whizzing bits of energy get together and pretend to be solid. But consciousness is also a lot more fractal and holographic than most people realize. It's not indivisible. Parts of it can be lost and other parts still function, or conversely, parts can be lost but then regained from unexpected angles.
