Hi Ham I have no idea how you distinguish any behaviour that is inanimate from any that is animate, the distinction seems entirely one of metaphysical assumption or an appeal to similarities with our own subjective experience. There is only behaviour. From exp[erience, we may wish to suggest a theory based on the difference between very repetitive behaviours and those that seem to be more various but why should consistent behaviour imply unconsciousness and mechanism? If experience is our guide, resisting dubious metaphysical assumtions, it would appear that the unconscious emerges via habit from the conscious, i.e. everything new requires consciousness, repetition can fade into unconscious repetition. Or can you persuade me otherwise without appealing to metaphysical assumption?
