Good luck drawing a line between life/living systems and otherwise.

The panpsychist answer is (unfortunately) the only one that even remotely passes the sniff test.

No need. In another comment I mentioned a stone has dormant potential of consciousness, and life systems merely animate it.

Someone else posted a decent link to the relationship of “holographic” memory and consciousness. I do not speak with that as my source though it is a relevant idea.
