Conscious: aware of the delineation between self and not self

I don't know whether this applies to plants and fungi, but it applies to just about every animal. There's a minimum basic sense of self required in distinguishing one's own movements from the approach of an attacker. Even earthworms react differently when they touch something vs when something touches them.
