Again, I'm not aware of any credible scientific basis for the position that consciousness is some sort of a field which is a product of quantum processes. The most plausible explanation is that it is encoded in the pattern of electrochemical firings of neurons.

Consciousness itself may just be nothing more than an exhaust fume resulting from the functioning of the brain rather than something profound to be explained. It may simply be a phenomenon of the system observing patterns within the world and modelling itself in the process as part of the simulation it is creating. This is basically the HOT view of consciousness, and it's really the only theory that at lest provides some explanatory power for the origin of the phenomenon.
