I don't think consciousness is emergent, to me that means mechanical aggregate properties do not add up to a subjective experience.

The other possibility is that consciousness and subjective experience is a fundamental property of matter.

In some inexplicable (to be attempted to made explicable) way, my mind wants to connect the concept of the waveform with having an internal experience.

I'm most familiar with the particle in a box model and the double slit experiments which show that single particles "self interact" in addition to interacting with the environment, or rather, they have an underlying reality (waveform) that takes into account the whole system.

The waveform has a holistic representation of the particle-environment system. There's subject-object(ish*) relation (*the system is NOT divisible) with the particle-wave containing the whole information about the system, but still being a particle distinct from surroundings.

placeholder for clearer wakeful thought, might delete later, don't comment or like this one Which leads me to having no other ways of saying a particle has an internal experience, how else can it self interact? A particle has knowing-acting-awareness of itself and surroundings.
