No, its not as simple as if/else. Its going to require at least some basic calculus.
I know its a hard concept to understand, but I think one of the biggest questions you need to ask yourself.
What is life anyway? How can single cell organisms, and things like slime mold make decisions when they have nothing that resembles a neuron? If you start to think about it, perhaps its possible that anything in this universe with enough connections can express itself?
who the fuck knows I guess, but one of my favorite theories is that everything is aware, at some level.
This chapter examines the hypothesis that consciousness itself is yet another form of matter. Just as there is electrically neutral matter and electrically charged matter, so there is insentient matter and sentient matter—these are just two types of matter. An electromagnetic field is a type of material reality, and so is consciousness. Alternatively, consciousness is one form of energy, along with kinetic energy or electrical energy. If this hypothesis is true, then consciousness is material after all—though not in the Cartesian sense. Matter/energy is the underlying substance of the universe, and it may ultimately be unitary, but it can take widely different forms—with consciousness as just one of them.
Considering I believe that reality is nothing but energy, its easy for me to believe.

I know how Neural Nets work so I don't need a 3B1B video thanks :)

The calculus is for doing backprop to generate the weights, that's an implementation detail of the training, albeit an effective one. It is not a necessary feature of the network.
Panpsychism certainly is interesting, thanks for that. I am not convinced by materialism - "I am not clockwork".

This goes really into depth if want to have a good read about it.
