You are aware systems are more than the sums of their parts…?
A book is more than the sum of its words.
A painting is more than the sum of its pigments
Music is more than the sum of its sine waves.
This is called emergence and is a very basic principle of - well anything, really. The same building blocks arranged in different ways will result in entirely different new objects.
If you’re interested in philosophy, feel free to read a few Wikipedia articles. You’re not the first one to ask about the nature of feelings and I am not qualified to have deeper discussions about this topic.
Why does one combination of quarks produce a shiny, malleable solid that’s conductive and stable, and yet another produces a highly reactive liquid at room temperature
Well you have to understand that elements, much like molecules aren’t really made of things, they’re made of the math, physics, and chemistry acting on the things that’re there
Aren’t we just like Quarks on the most basic level? So why would one arrangement of Quarks, produce feeling people and not another?
Maybe objects feel pain, but can’t remember it, or react to it.

Ikr? Makes no sense. It’s like if 12 + 4 equals 25^3
