The article examines the consciousness of animals through the prism of the Acta Universi (AU-field) hypothesis proposed by the author in 2025. Based on current scientific evidence, including the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness (2024), insights from leading theories of consciousness (Orch OR, IIT, GNWT, etc.) are integrated to argue that animals generate thought forms that contribute to the universal archive of AU field events. Entropy calculations in animal nervous systems show different levels of consciousness, with implications for ethics, ecology, and interstellar research. The framework presents animals as co-authors of cosmic reality, requiring a re-evaluation of the relationship between humans and animals.
