Here's a question Id like to know the answer too. Where does consciousness come from? I guess everyone has the same question but more specifically. Is it just like the testing and probing of systems in-between the movement of data or 'matter'?

Say consciousness has an echo. Like if the system was removed but the energy remains and is still experiencing entropy. As it dissipates into infinity could it maybe persist by finding a new system that is similar to the one it use to inhabit? Doesn't it do that constantly. Like the synapses that make up your consciousness arent the same synapses they were before. Consciousness latches on to itself, a continuum of processes that make it a whole. As the energy that makes up consciousness fades into nothing it travels through infinite amounts of states before we can no longer observe it and even after. If it were layered onto a 'new dimension' that was similar enough to the previous one, would it latch?
