I agree, consciousness cannot be explained in terms of classical ‘laws’. Perhaps the problem is that to understand consciousness you have to operate on a higher level of consciousness. Then everyone else will reject your ideas though. It is all very well linking consciousness with degree of information. But why has consciousness evolved? Why is evolution only described in terms of adaptation?
Also see my comments in wikipedia Hume’s missing shade of blue (ref 3). David Hume was one of a few who understood consciousness but his ideas still are completely ignored. Gautama Buddhas was another
