Ah ok. I get it. I suppose a non-dualist would ask "Who is experiencing this static state?" ;-) which would probably lead us straight into the Big C-Consciousness (a priori?) vs the Little c-consciousness (emergent) debate.

Wouldn't self reflection where there is no interaction partner (other than the self) constitute active consciousness?

Hence, isn't an evolutionary idealist, the right framing, here? A continuous evolving act of creation in reality striving towards an evolving definition of the assumed ideal. This is not to suggest relativism, but instead to allow for the true ideal to reveal itself in phases.
