Abstract:

This work attempts to demonstrate the significant possibility (as contrast to the superhyperbolic or the least possibility) in an apparently inanimate thing, like a stone, being conscious. According to the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non – Spatial Thinking Process) theory, any spatial, and therefore illusive/virtual, entity may have (real non-spatial) feelings/states of consciousness associated with it, provided it has an appropriate conceptual representation in the superhuman engine. A stone, for example, being an apparently spatial entity, may have conceptual representation in the superhuman mind/NSTPs/engine so as to be conscious. Thus, it may be that a broken stone feels pain till its death and then its pieces become conscious. The kind/type of states of consciousness associated with a stone depends entirely upon the kind/type of conceptual representation it has in the superhuman engine.
