claimThe Cambrian period marked the emergence of a new animal lifestyle characterized by agency and subjectivity, which Peter Godfrey-Smith describes as a 'different mode of being'.
claimPeter Godfrey-Smith emphasizes agency and subjectivity as central to consciousness, though the author notes these do not constitute a single property.

claimSome scientists and philosophers, including Trestman (2013), Feinberg and Mallatt (2016), Godfrey-Smith (2016), and Ginsburg and Jablonka (2019), have suggested that subjectivity, agency, and other capacities related to consciousness may provide a partial explanation for the Cambrian explosion.

There is, in short, no way for us to picture subjectivity as part of our world view because, so to speak, the subjectivity in question is the picturing.
