Question

A single neuron in the brain would not have consciousness, but together, from all the interaction and connections of the network, something new is created, a new global property — that is consciousness. 
A. Does the Rabbi agree with this theory?
B. Maybe this also provides an answer to free choice within materialism — that a new property is created because of the interaction and interconnectedness of the network?

C. Or assuming the theory is valid and consciousness is created from materialism, then the matter is simple: consciousness is created, and it chooses.
