Throwing out the definition of consciousness as “the inflection upon the potential of existential being.”

All matter in the universe is dormant consciousness and life technology animates this through electrochemical biotechnology.

By this definition quantum computers are more consciousness than an infinitely complex algorithm, yet consciousness is analogue (not qubits.)

We still understand so little and I accept your skepticism yet this is the definition that is not being discussed.

All those other messy details are yours to sort out (bacteria has bacterial consciousness.)

Our brains are vast by comparison, and like any holographic system (constructive and destructive interfering wave fronts) higher resolution.

Also subjective doesn’t mean some detached arbitrary thing, it literally means (and may be a direct synonym of) “a point of perspective.” In a non anthropomorphic way it means from the perspective of a specific instance of a thing (forensic referential interpretation.) In this way the angular corners of a triangle are subjectively relative to one and other, yet all exist on an objective plane.

what are you talking about

A perspective on the definition of consciousness. Sorry I didn’t respond in line to the comments I am actually addressing. I thought it overall relevant.

By all this I am saying consciousness is our echo chamber, something grounded in the quantum cloister of objective reality, not directly related to intelligence.
