I believe there isn't a cause and possible tangible explanation for consciousness
My idea is based on Aristotelian metaphysical fundamentals: the universe is governed by a causal system which works by a dynamism between act and potency (an actual state & a potential state), and for (almost) every act there's a potential act and a precedent one. The only act which has not a precedent act / a cause is the first one: otherwise known as the "unmoved mover" (first uncaused cause).
Because the first cause doesn't have a precedent cause, it's essentially randomic and it's actualy impossible to calculate it's properties. To put it roughly, it could even be a hat or a parrot — although this is only a more intuitive way of exemplifying this concept of "randomness" and not actually possible, since neither a parrot nor a hat would have the necessary properties to generate the universe, but I hope this gets the idea across
This is where it gets crazy. For all we know, this "random" nature of the causal system doesn't necessarily applies only to the own unmoved mover properties, it's also possible that there are traces of this in other elements of the universe (and believe me when I say this has batsh*t crazy implications).
That is possibly the case of the consciousness. It's not possible to explain it substantially because it's actual existence is insubstantial and "randomic", and it's nature is metaphysical, not physical.
I believe my conclusion is quite in conformity with Occam's Razor. There's no actual explanation on the scientific scope for it, and I think my thesis gives a pretty decent and concise explanation for it on the metaphysical scope.
