Terminology is problematic, but I understand sensing and sentience to be more fundamental than consciousness, in the sense that there can be much sensing going on that some neurological processes tend to filter from conscious experience. Magnetoception could be quantum-sentient process of direclty sensing electromagnetic fields at cellular level - while 'consciousness' would refer to secondary lever of neurologically/classically filtering out magnetoception or channelling it through classical senses - and living "in the head" instead of whole-body sensing. "Spiritual" body-sense during so called "alternate states of mind" etc. could in many cases refer to pre-classical quantum magnetoception. And maybe the math to give more detailed description of this is allready out there available.
