Everything appears in consciousness. This is our direct experience. It's literally the meaning of Aparoksanubhuti. No scientific theory need apply. All thought appears in consciousness too.
So it appears Gaudapada was the first to apply the nondual Buddhist metaphor of snake and rope to Advaita Vedanta. And all the Shankaracharyas ran with it.
The substrate of all reflection in this lake is consciousness. There's nothing other than this lake of consciousness. All reflection in this lake is consciousness only.
