Consciousness is Metamorphic Matter (measured with entropy)

What if there was no mystery to consciousness, and it is simply molecules and larger networks of matter that are informationally/energetically connected and have many different possible states that they could move into in the future?  This "wanting" nature of atoms in complex materials is an awareness that moves beyond the current state, and "imagines" a future state.  Life is where the possible future states becomes multidimensional.  Free will is simply a higher level of entropy (more connected atoms with more possible future states) in simple matter.  For consciousness to exist there are unseen forces needed, just a simple set of atoms that are connected such that the whole system is "aware" of how the laws of physics normally move things around.Is consciousness just the combination of potential energy in all of the different atoms in an object?
