Off the top of my head after reading your publication in "Helium".
Which came first, motion or growth, or better, energy or mass?
by Ted Erikson

Time does not really exist for light (electromagnetism). But light cannot validate itself without creating, that iis "sparking" mass to gain a surface from which to reflect, absorb, diffract, refract, etc. Any particle of mass will do but mass itself needs time to validate its existence. So let us place panpsychism in perspective by stating that such that an awareness, or consciousness, for any particle of mass recognizes that is must be of a greater size, i.e. larger, bigger, or more complex to gain more time of "life".

This idea is verified from biological studies, i.e., life spans increase as size of many species vary from bacteria to whales. Extrapolating this verifiable information down to the size of the ubiquitous electron carrying a charge suggest "lifetimes" must be of orders less than attoseconds, i.,e., extremely small since it appears and reappears about an atom. Quantum probabilities are required to localize regions where it may be found.

Light controls motion and mass controls evolutional growth, but light "needs" mass and mass "needs" time. This is the real philosophical question of which came first. Panpsychism, an ancient idea of consciousness in ALL things is a most sensible answer.
