There is no matter. There is only energy parading as matter. Mostly there isn't even that. There is free energy and there are dreams in which we experience what we react to as a "natural reality" from what can be called the "complex reality."
What appears to us, and behaves with regard to us, as matter is not conscious: it is not anything. It feels like something and it must be treated seriously as it has a casual relationship to us consciousnesses experiencing this dream. The question is to what extent, if any, does this shared dream require a material substrate. If it doesn't then irreducible or not my computational abilities fall short of imagining what a non-material substrate would look like; unless, there is some sort of third choice, not material nor energy as we understand them: Perhaps the quaternians or octonions -or whatever those weird-ass number categories are called- could somehow factor in the description? Of course, I have no clue.
@@travisfitzwater8093 When you dream writing to memory is chemically disabled, which then makes many of your brain functions useless. Dreams mean nothing, just random burst of content that has nothing to do with outside world. And no part of human consciousness exists on scales smaller than groups of molecules. It's not even possible.

There is nothing and then there is something. I am that I am that I am.
