Center of gravity of any body has information about every atom in
body. You remove some mass from one point and this info regarding
change in mass propagates to center of gravity instantaneously(yeah).

Likewise center of gravity of brain i.e 'self' has info about
functioning of every neuron. If some neuron is damaged, this info
propagates to centre of gravity of brain i.e 'self' or 'consciousness'
instantaneously(yeah, instantaneously).

In physics, how center of gravity is 'aware' of mass is not
understood. Likewise in neuroscience, how our 'consciousness' is
'aware' of functioning of neurons is not understood.

So it is not illogical to compare center of gravity with self or
consciousness.
