Consciousness states that consciousness exists--in particular, that any assertion pertaining to reality implies the existence of a conscious entity making that assertion. For example, the assertion, "The sun is shining," implies the existence of a conscious entity that is claiming that the sun is shining, thus showing that consciousness exists. (This implication remains valid whether or not the assertion is true or false--in this case, whether or not the sun is actually shining.)

So I became curious about this topic listening to a podcast about everything theory and how the head scientist or researcher on this subject talked about quantifying axioms.
Almost immediately I thought to myself... What about the axiom of consciousness or self awareness or creativity?
So now... I ask you... What do think about the axiom of consciousness?
