May 8 at 10:33 comment added Rushi Your second (short) para reads very garbled. Can you reword it (something like) this please? : This is called self-deception: one convinces oneself there is no need for references/pointers only to make a claim for a higher level of abstraction.

May 8 at 8:40 comment added Wayne Irving @Rushi I agree. You aren't claiming Panpsychism because you don't assume that everything is a pointer simply that everything CAN be a pointer. I think the phrase you are looking for is self-deception. I edited my answer. I hope you find it satisfactory.

May 8 at 7:36 comment added Wayne Irving @Rushi My phrasing of my answer is wrong. I should have said that if you state that pointers are references in memory, than all memory can be pointers. Higher level languages claim to not use pointers but that seems impossible because it has to use memory. It can't create anything that references itself outside of itself.

May 8 at 7:27 comment added Wayne Irving @Rushi I'm using your CS example to explain the ontological argument that you are trying to make which I believe is panpsychism. So my answer isn't about CS it's about ontology and I think the example you illustrate takes a panpsychist's stance.
May 8 at 7:22 comment added Rushi This question is about ontology not CS. Please see reformulation at the end of the question
