Is a mono-consciousness then impossible?
Thanks for the clarification.
In my comments I have been working on the idea that consciousness is an abstraction. The context in which the consciousness abstraction exists, is where consciousness can be found.
So a mono-consciousness would still have a context that supports a consciousness abstraction. I don't see any problem with that. However the consciousness might be like a feral child, no table manners and very strange to us.
How about this. If a consciousness tells a joke in a forest where no other consciousness can hear it, is the joke still funny?
I'll need more details. What is a mono-consciousness?
I was thinking of a magnetic monopole. A single consciousness, that does not interact with any others
