Consciousness is <drum roll> "Language"

The color red = Language
The smell of shit = Language
The sound of Mozart = Language
The taste of steak = Language
The touch of pain = Language

Every thought = Language

We think (consciousness) in various form of "language".

So our consciousness is a holistic model of the languages interplaying.

You're misunderstanding my meaning of language. All the sense provide
the brain with information aka language. Words are perhaps the
pinnacle of the senses.

All are forms of energy, each with a specific rate of vibration which
we idenify with symbols, one group of which, is numbers.

Perhaps Pythagoras was on to something after all.

Language may just be something added to ours and animals ability to
reason about "what did what to what" or who did what to whom" etc...
or subject/verb/object. Everything that consciousness is wrapped up in
may be what language is grafted on top of.
