Yes but your consciousness involves the entity of your physical being which exists as a mathematical property. To conclude that your consciousness establishes a similarity that extends space time calabi yau is conjectural theory which relies on the exclusion of fluxes. That alone negates a fixed set of parameters within the dimension. Much of it all comes out of the need to establish string theory with models of unseen spatial dimensions. So establishing a consciousness within that realm seems a bit premature and unfounded based on the lack of physical evidence. Of course you can always add an imaginary physical being with a consciousness in the string theory landscape, but you probably did that already, ergo; God and the Plan.
