The theory suggests that consciousness could be subject to entropy, just like the brain or memory.
Using an analogy of a clay pot holding water, the theory explains how the framework of awareness might erode over time, leading to the collapse of consciousness.
It questions whether artificial intelligence or simulated consciousness would be free from this rule of entropy affecting awareness.
The idea proposed is that awareness incurs a cost, with each moment of awareness adding strain on the framework enabling it, potentially leading to the eventual cessation of consciousness.
