Epistemic status: provides absolutely zero definitive knowledge

PC: physical / neurological consciousness. Analogous to the state of a computer running an AI
MPC: metaphysical consciousness. This is consciousness in the *watching from elsewhere* sense. A transcendent consciousness. I think its likely that a consciousness in idealism is probably always a MPC

Assuming MPCs can only attach to one PC at a time; MPCs are always attached to some PC; and PCs can be divided to get two PCs (justification for this is that PCs are abstractly equivalent to the state of some physical process as it changes in time, so we can divide that process into two physical processes with two states). Note: all of these assumptions are extremely tenuous

If we divide a PC with attached MPC into two PCs A and B. Our MPC must still be attached to either A or B (not both). Since A and B are both PCs, we can do this procedure again as many times as we want. We can then narrow what physical point the MPC is attached to on the original, unsplit PC, in this particular case (potentially just as the result of where we divided the initial PC, and the PCs state as we divided it) or universally (where the MPC attaches every time)

If the MPC attaches at a singular point every time, there is a heavy implication of some unknown physics governing the MPC-PC connection and that potentially the MPC is essentially an unknown physical process (or attaches to some other, unknown physical process), or physical-like process that can be modeled in the same we model regular physics

If the MPC attaches randomly, then that indicates some small scale process in the vein of thermodynamics that determines the MPC-PC connection

Both of these cases could also be contrived by some intelligent force behind the scenes, which may itself imply that MPCs are epiphenomenal in some exotic model of reality. This also may imply pantheism, any other form of d/theism really, and supernaturalism in general potentially

If you split a PC and you get two PCs with a MPC attached to each, then that seems to imply panpsychism (in the sense of consciousnesses are attached to everything). If you split a PC and you have two PCs with no MPCs attached, then what does that imply?

Note: MPCs are extremely paradoxical, partly because most humans will say they are principally an MPC attached to a PC, but all PCs without attached MPCs can say the same thing. So its safe to say there is no known test to determine if a PC has an attached MPC. And, more extremely, its unknown whether MPCs exist at all (PCs do definitively exist)

In my opinion, if people truly believe MPCs exist (I do), people should be trying to develop tests that identify MPCs. Though, MPCs may be beyond the scientific process to explain. If there *is no test* to identify MPCs, then its probably impossible beyond speculation to reason about them. It may be possible somehow (idk how) to make predictions using them, though
