Consciousness is defined as a “response potential” and is stated to be present in all modalities of physical universe. Given this, upon the gathering of interacting complex systems, new functional ensembles bearing “mind”‐like or “mindal” properties arise. These properties are delineated. They would arise in a coupled system by producing an “order” or “action” parameter, allowing for adiabatic elimination of variables and enslavement of subsystems by it. Singularities, space–time asymmetry, and action would irrevocably ensue. An experimentally testable model of “mind” is thus projected.
