panexperientialism

Panexperientialism is the philosophical view that all entities in the universe, not just humans or animals, possess some form of experience or consciousness. This perspective suggests that even basic elements, like atoms and molecules, have a kind of awareness or ability to respond to their environment. It differs from panpsychism, which typically implies consciousness similar to humans. In panexperientialism, the emphasis is on a broad spectrum of experience that varies in complexity, reflecting a deep interconnectedness in the fabric of reality where everything is engaged with its surroundings in a meaningful way.
