The people at Qualia Research Institute are traversing similar territory, you might want to check them out and get in conversation to battle test your ideas. It's also interesting to observe that Buddhism speaks of this paradox through the lens of dependent origination, and you might find more there too. Good luck with the book!

I’m pretty much a Daoist and you’ll notice the “original pattern” is pretty much a yin-yang, so yes. Also familiar with co-dependent arising. 😀Complexity at Santa Fe Institute also crosses similar bounds. Will check out Qualia but honestly want to steer clear of consciousness question even if i think this might be a better lower level, axiomatic model than IIT.

I've got some Taoist leanings as well, the yin yang (taijitu) symbol is astonishing. Periodicity, the center or maximum of yin contains yang and vice versa, bounded only by it's own dance (and unbounded as merely a representation of the Dao that cannot be named). Itself generates more, you can find the 4 fundamental forces within it: peng, lu, ji, an-correleate with some imagination to the four suits of playing cards and also strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravity. There is a whole thing that takes this and generates movements that reflect this Cosmic system internally, the alchemy of the 13 Original Postures of Taiji.
