478 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matterb2861 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matter “6x9”- Supplementarity between matter and energy (“matter is a highly
condensed form of energy”; see https://www.researchgate.net/post/
Is_matter_really_energy_condensed) on the one hand and between
information and life (“life is a highly condensed form of informa-
tion” [279]) on the other. All the five nodes of the gnergy tetrahedron
are in direct contact with one another.
The gnergy tetrahedron does not contain consciousness explicitly. If
equating consciousness and life seems contrived, one could treat these as
distinct entities by viewing consciousness as equivalent to the totality of
the gnergy tetrahedron and life as an aspect of it. This may be consistent
with the many of the views expressed by Hindu practitioners [553]. If one
takes this approach, the gnergy tetrahedron may turn out to provide the
mechanisms of consciousness, a topic essential for understanding what
consciousness is and how it operates.
If the suggestion is right that the gnergy tetrahedron provides the
mechanisms underlying consciousness, this may represent primarily the
objective (or scientific) aspect of consciousness whereas many, if notf g- Cosmological Conscious. ----->CorticalConscious. ----->Supracortical Conscious.

Figure 10.35. Another ITR (Irreducible Triadic Relation) aspect of Consciousness.
f = Origin of life; g = origin of culture; h = grounding/embodiment/enlightenment. The commutative
condition is thought to be satisfied, i.e., f x g = h, which reads “f followed by g leads to the same result
as h”. According to the cell language theory, both cellese and humanese are the complementary
aspects of cosmese [see Figure 4.3 in this book, and Table 2.13 in [25]. 1 & 2 = Consciousness studies
