By calling the noumenon "consciousness," you too are "carving out" a form from "the interdependent soup of the phenomenal world."
If a universal consciousness is just passing the time by generating an infinite number of experiences, that very nonchalance or randomness would be the horrific source of life's absurdity since it would entail plenty of mismatches. This universal consciousness would generate organisms that would be bound to confuse themselves by mistaking phenomena for noumena, and their intelligence would land them in no man's land (in a jaded, cynical, skeptical perspective, such as we find to be rampant in late modernity).
