Do Rocks Have Minds in FMT?

It is fair to wonder whether FMT is suggesting that things such as rocks have minds that experience an inner life. 



The short answer is yes but nothing remotely close to what kinesin and other complex molecules inside cells would experience. 


A rock is a collection of atoms held rigidly together by strong electromagnetic bonds that prevent any and all movements by its constituent atoms.  This means the atoms would generate a fairly uniform and static electromagnetic field that has little-to-no capacity for information exchange between the atoms that form the rock. 


Complex minds in FMT require a flexible and electromagnetically dynamic matter substrate to store and retrieve information, process information, receive and decode signals, form and transmit signals, form memories, develop more complex intelligence, all of which lead to more complex collective mental experiences. 


Cells, organelles, and complex molecules inside cells all have flexible physical structures that move, communicate, and interact with other forms of matter. These behaviors require a dynamic electromagnetically active field surrounding and pervading their physical structures to enable their minds to influence the behavior of their bodies.


Rocks lack a dynamic, flexible, electromagnetically active substrate, thus have minds that would be at best only slightly more complex than the atoms they are made of.
