It can’t, unless you descend into sophistry. We came up with and defined the word “consciousness” specifically to fit our own understanding of the collection of behaviors we do that seem to apply only to us. What it means is based on what _we humans_ do, not something observed objectively, so it’s more like a human trait than a thing by itself that we fit into.

Please do share your clear and uncontroversial definition of consciousness, that sounds very useful!

Should’ve probably said “attempted at defining” instead of “defined”.
