Practically speaking, it seems to be a bunch of tiny balls kind of like Legos in that they like to stick to others in various ways according to their types. According to the rules of matter and physics we get a bunch of emergent phenomena, basically contraptions made out of the Lego-balls. That's animals. But there's something else funny about it... it's not just a bunch of wild contraptions getting made by tumbling Lego-balls in the dryer for a long time. There's also knowing. It's not the Lego-balls doing the knowing, but certain very complicated configurations of the Lego-balls seem to be needed for the knowing to happen. So there's a vast physics playground, and contraptions are curling up out of the muck, and via their unusual configurations (made by evolution out of necessity to try to keep the contraptions functional in the merciless, remorseless physics playground), knowing arises, to whatever extent the configuration of the contraption allows. If one were to try to zoom out and see the whole progression I think it might look like a mind constructing itself, gradually rising up out of an unbelievable, incomprehensible mass of bloodshed and suffering, to be shining and bright, boundlessly kind, compassionate, joyful, and balanced, like a perfectly clear eye to watch what happens in the playground as if it was a flower in a process of endless blooming, clearly knowing that everything that happens is perfect.
