Very interesting concept... would it mean that a 5 celled organism whose behavior could all be black-box analyzed to suggest that it wishes to protect its own life thus be considered rational?

I'm curious if anyone knows of any of EY's other writings that address the phenomenon of rationality as not requiring consciousness.
