Panpsychism is defined as the philosophical thesis that everything undergoes conscious experience [1], and it posits that conscious experience is the fundamental intrinsic nature of matter [2]. Furthermore, the theory faces the 'combination problem' of explaining how elementary particles with proto-conscious experience unify into complex conscious experiences {fact:3, fact:6}.
