Stanley, Whit, Ram, others,
First, I
note Ram's condensation-sublimation is NSD-like -- roughly agreeing with
"reality is nested structured~duality", as does considering matter
converting to energy. Thus, Ram's statement might better or also be or
reflect: matter is a condensed form of energy where the "two" states
are changes in nested structured~duality.
Second,
where you say, "Like there is nothing shocking about brains producing
language and ideas. The challenging part is how do brain produce qualia
(subjectivity). ", I don't think brains alone produce language and
ideas, and so thinking that reality works that way sort of screws your
chances of understanding subjectivity.
That
is, in my storyline, the approximation is vibrations in surroundings
influence structural coding in ordered water and/or other
sp^3-hybridized structures (or, if you are a neuron theory advocate,
alignments in synapses...), but within that, in getting to language
that first involves influencing sequences of protein-folding CONCURRENT
WITH moving gas streams through varying channels as to get 'sounds'.
Those sounds add to the vibrations of the surroundings and additional
internal structural coding (all relating to whether such activities aid
or detract from energy and material collection and conservation "within
respiration reaction". Anyway, during the language learning phase the
brain and the surrounding gaseous environment and several other levels
of organization are all involved in scribbling up to so-called
'language'.
