I agree, not to any limited extent but absolutely. All living things are in themselves a pattern both collective and individual - a series of expanded blueprints - the form which everything assumes or takes on is the result of the whole mass of reactions taking place everywhere at all times.
Each of these patterns is a lower or higher form of consciousness depending not on 'behaviour' but of experience. Simply pushing and shoving is sufficient.
Nature or the universe or life or whatever you wish to call it is dependent upon the feedback it gets in order to know itself. We and all living things are in a constant state of feedback with the All, in all manner of ways.
A heirachy is slowly being formed out of the original chaos and like the seeds of a dandelion will spread across the whole face of the available soil.
