In my comments I have been working on the idea that consciousness is
an abstraction. The context in which the consciousness abstraction
exists, is where consciousness can be found.
So a mono-consciousness would still have a context that supports a
consciousness abstraction. I don’t see any problem with that. However
the consciousness might be like a
feral child, no table
manners and very strange to us.
How about this. If a consciousness tells a joke in a forest where
no other consciousness can hear it, is the joke still funny?
Is a mono-consciousness then impossible?
Thanks for the clarification.

I’ll need more details. What is a mono-consciousness?
I was thinking of a magnetic monopole. A single consciousness, that does not interact with any others
