On the origin of Earth’s Universal BioConsciousness
Frontiers in Psychology February 9, 2026 Akbota Tleuberdinova
A unified framework called Earth Universal BioConsciousness proposes that consciousness originates from pre-existing cell bioconsciousness, not spontaneously, and is a primary causal agent directing genetic adaptations. The framework integrates several theories: Cellular Basis of Consciousness, Cognition-Based Evolution, Universal Genome Evolution (where DNA is a structural correlate of universal bioconsciousness), and Ontogenetic Evolution of Universal Bioconsciousness (beginning at zygote formation). It reinterprets Descartes' 'Cogito ergo sum' by arguing verbal thought depends on bioconsciousness and serves communication, not independent thinking. Unicellular and multicellular bioconsciousness exist in positive and negative forms. Human-like artificial consciousness is deemed highly unlikely because bioconsciousness is tied to biological lineage.
