Graham, this is an excellent compilation of the facts as we currently have experienced them. When we think of creation being a result of information, consciousness is implicit meaning every element of experience is one with, part of that consciousness.
In order to get an idea of the oneness of it all I think of the universe as a geometric construct wherein a rod connecting this side of the whole when moved on this end it automatically moves on the other end at the far side without need of communication or transfer of information. The movement of one end of the structural rod instantaneously moves the other end of the geometric whole.
Every element of the geometric whole is partaking of the consciousness of the Whole, the One.
