Uh, you seem to have performed a classic "and a miracle occurs" step in both explaining life from basic physics and also explaining consciousness (which is the title of your article). There are a ton of increasingly detailed hypotheses and theories about both the origins of life and consciousness from physics so I look forward to your future essays exploring this work. Our theory, the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, attempts to explain consciousness as a vast nested hierarchy of shared resonance from electrons up the chain of complexity: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2019.00378/full.

The mathematical framework is in a 2020 follow up paper: https://philpapers.org/rec/HUNCTB-2
