Metaphysical things are hard to observe (like impossible for now) ;thus hard to prove. So its existence or lack there of is by default unknown.

The only reason we have ever thought about metaphysics is because we have only one idea of reality. As soon as it's possible for a multiverse to have laws defining different universes and their physics, then why do we need to separate out consciousness from material law in the first place? What's to say forces and orders that create and can hold onto physics are any different from God, if they can not be understood from a level where we can tell whether or not it has a consciousness too?

Can you propose a falsifiable hypothesis that will lend meaningful weight to one option or the other?

1) Yes - great!

We actually can't even prove whether or not physics is a solitarily mechanizing system. So technically we don't even know if this universe itself has a consciousness.

youre combating metaphysics with metaphysics. unfalsifiable multiverse which is as OP said just a theory and not even one that has weight.

i also dont see what multiverse has to do with consciousness and "material law".

god is an additional assumption. its also anthropocentric which goes against pretty much whatever else science talks about.

theres a mistake in assuming consciousness is a new and different substance. theres no need for that assumption when it seems to be absolutely a product of the brain. wholy.

This meme.
Are you suggesting that if we could trace the ancestry of species just right we would find a generation which was suddenly conscious, unlike all other matter in the solar system up to that point?

no im not. youre assuming "consciousness" is a discrete thing. think of it in terms of how species evolve over time. species dont change from one discrete block to another. its a continuous change. maybe you can see "consciousness" being a product of a process like that in terms of perceptual inference about sensory inputs.
