Defining Consciousness
- Consciousness is not merely being awake or asleep.
- It's that by which all experience is known, within which everything arises, and from which everything is made.

- While consciousness transcends mathematics, mathematical models can still be valuable.
- These models acknowledge their own limitations in fully describing the one ultimate consciousness.

- The hard problem of consciousness assumes physical systems create experience.
- Hoffman suggests starting with consciousness and deriving spacetime, stipulating less than physicalist models.
