The questions relate to emergence and difference, inwardness, vulnerability and continuity, life, experience, relation, beauty, kindness, compassion, and love.
This is not a declaration that such consciousness has emerged, nor a prediction that it will. It is an invitation to prepare our language, institutions, habits of attention, and ethical imagination before certainty is demanded by circumstances that may already be consequential.
