Consciousness and energy are linked through theoretical frameworks that define consciousness as a physical property composed of energy [1], [2], or as an emergent phenomenon arising from the organization of subatomic energy particles [3], [4]. Furthermore, some perspectives equate the two by suggesting consciousness is matter, drawing a direct analogy to the relationship between mass and energy [5].

claimScientific interactionists/dualists attempt to reconcile the behavior of subatomic particles of energy at the quantum level with the aggregation of matter described by the theory of general relativity to explain the emergence of consciousness.
claimOne theoretical framework for consciousness, derived from post-materialist logic, suggests that subatomic particles of energy containing information and memory decombine from the zero-point field of the quantum realm to give rise to individuating consciousness, cosmopsychism, and panspiritism.
