Thoughts stemming from earlier idea that matter is information persisting in energy...

Also read an article in Vox about panpsychism.

I think these work well together, but let's not worry about whether or not electrons have consciousness.

My concept could consider consciousness as an expression of energy, similar to how I might consider light or magnetism. I think my concept of energy may be more similar to earlier concepts of ether, and much broader than current sciences based on materialism would allow for.

I'm really seeing "energy" as the primary construct of "reality", rather than matter. Matter is an expression of energy, as would be light, consciousness, emotion, and anything else observable by humans. Energy can be expressed as waves, or more completely, a field of waves, permeating the observable universe. Objects (like planets, or a chair) are still just information stored, but still can have all other expressions of energy present as they are a part of it, rather than separate from it or acted on by it.
