Noun

1. {{lb|en|philosophy}} A problem arising from the tension between the seemingly [[irreducible]] nature of [[consciousness]], and its [[ubiquity]]. If consciousness is ubiquitous, and every atom (or every bit, depending on the theory) has a minimal level of it, then it is not clear how these tiny consciousnesses combine to create larger experiences.
