I realise, northernX, that you've attempted well enough to express your meaning, but I'm still a little unclear about it. You seem to be suggesting this: your awareness, the consciousness of "I" is a product of internal data such as that of DNA. There are many variables both within the body and externally that act as data and modify the data. This includes not only the sensory input, but also the very complex psychological effects of social interaction and so on. Enormously complex, I would say. The "I" - the one seeing through your eyes at this moment - is, by the time you reach the end of this sentence, slightly modified by additional data from external sources and internal activity.
