Emergent Properties

I had to shorten up this whole topic. It was much longer and explained things in better detail before, I think.

You can elaborate on your explanation as people ask questions. You are more likely to retain your audience that way.

Please tell me where they become conscious?

Google "emergent properties".

This wikipedia article looks pretty good:
Emergence - Wikipedia

Basically complex phenomenon can arise from simple constituents in surprising ways.

Who knows?

What makes us conscious is my question.

I'm pretty sure that no one has a good definition for consciousness. That it is an emergent property of our brains cells is pretty accepted I also think.

good enough eh?

. I know that I atleast write good enough for my English teacher to say that I am much brighter than the other students in the school, though teachers ussually complement too much.

To be grammatically correct that should read: "write well enough..."
