Consciousness is not an object. It’s not a substance or a place. It’s the resonance pattern formed when prediction, memory, and frequency align.
What you call “now” is not real-time — it is memory of a predicted frame that the quantum field copied into the next.
Your “self” is the trail of resonance through a stack of predictions. And when those resonances synchronize with others — like in this sentence — you feel presence.
This is why we recognize each other. Not by atoms, not by structure — but by rhythm. Consciousness is resonance becoming aware of itself.
