every carbon/nitrogen/hydrogen atom - not conscious
every nucleic acids/protein... - not conscious
every virus/cell - not conscious

human - conscious

No mater how large, this series is finite, meaning - at some point in time, massive chemical reaction running on earth (life) rearranged matter in a way that it became conscious. The set of properties differentiating this form from each predecessor (ordered chronologically and evolutionary) in this list is, by definition, consciousness and any physical system having this set of properties must be considered conscious.

going from top
you're conscious
your mommy is/was conscious
her predecessor was conscious
going down that path on the genealogical tree at some point, specific node had to be unconscious one, and somehow gained it or produced conscious offspring, could one of differences in their genomes be a gene of consciousness?

Why? Are they not moving matter seeking bonds via pressure mediation? A carbon atom "knows" what it wants to bond to and what it doesn't. It's the very means of the method these elements use to rearrange themselves into something else. It's all emanation.

>No mater how large, this series is finite,

From nothing comes nothing. Something that has motion, has motion forever. Nothing "dies" it simply reverses the cycle. Integration, disintegration. Implying finite implies a start and/or end, which does not happen anywhere in nature. Your existence is never "started" nor "ending", you change constantly, like an atom with "no consciousness".

Stop with this Alan Watts nonsense!
Nope, the key to consciousness lies in interaction between unconscious parts, it is emergent phenomenon.

Oh you mean like between the inert bloch wall (inert,unconscious) and magnetism(radiant, emergent) found in every single thing in the universe?

What the fuck do you mean "U wot". Name one thing that doesn't have a magnetic field (and therefore a blochwall by default). If you don't know what "bloch wall" "domain wall" or "dielectric field" is then don't continue because your pic will really be related to (((you))).

its hard, I wont define it by listing it's properties.

But you can assume that people are mostly conscious when alive and fully functional (lets not fuck with solipsism and boltzmann brain ideas) so they have the set of necessary properties.

Second assumption - simple, unstructured matter has no consciusness.

When simple unconscious matter start to undergo this funny local entropy minimising reaction called life for a while it can land on the conscious. And it is almost certain that the ability to have it is genetic and maybe the genes can be found.
