If consciousness is divisible, can its parts be counted mathematically, be attributed to individual physical entities, depend upon physical parameters or be considered greater as a whole than separately?

Consciousness is the state of being aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It is a complex and often debated concept in both philosophy and science.
This question is difficult to answer definitively as the nature of consciousness is still not fully understood. Some scientists and philosophers argue that consciousness is a holistic experience, while others believe it can be broken down into smaller components.
Scientists use various methods to study consciousness, including brain imaging, behavioral experiments, and theoretical models. However, due to its subjective nature, consciousness is a challenging topic to study and there is still much to be discovered.
Currently, there is no definitive way to measure consciousness. While brain activity can be observed and certain behaviors can be linked to consciousness, there is no objective measure that can determine the level or quality of consciousness in an individual.
The role of consciousness in the brain is still a topic of debate. Some theories suggest that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, while others propose that it has a specific function in information processing and decision making. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between consciousness and the brain.
