Abstract

The Acta Universi (AUfield) hypothesis, proposed by D. E. Yashchenko in 2025, treats consciousness as a universal process of generating thought forms Θ(t), which make an entropic contribution to the AU field-a dynamic archive of all events in the universe. This makes it possible to compare consciousness at all levels of life: from viruses to humans. The comparison is based on the entropy S_Θ (a measure of the complexity of a thought form), the level of free will S_will, and the global contribution to the AU field. Correlations are interactions of entropies (for example, the symbiosis of bacteria and humans increases the collective s_Θ). The 2025 data (declarations on animal consciousness, microbial cognition) confirms that consciousness is a gradient, not a binary property.
