Intercellular communication: how cells created us, our emotions, and consciousness

In this study, I propose a hypothesis about the origin of emotions and consciousness stemmingfrom intercellular communication during the integration of multicellular organisms. Multicellularorganisms are limited in their ability to respond directly to stimuli due to the varying reactions ofdifferent cells. Cells must coordinate their actions with each other, communicating their homeostaticstates through chemical and electrical signals. The combination of homeostatic signals from individualcells creates a subjective and differentiated evaluation of the state of a multicellular organism as primaryemotions, enabling it to transition from automatic reactions to active optimization behavior based oncompeting motives. Thus, I assert that consciousness is a function of communication among livingbeings (initially cells), and it attained its subjective form by integrating a multicellular organism into asingle subject.
