So you demand that a very very small part of the computer have the same
properties as the entire machine or it is not conscious. Then I must
conclude that you are not conscious, not unless you can name which one
of your neurons understands English.
And for the sake of argument let’s assume your theory is true, how could
you ever prove it? If it’s imposable to prove then it’s not science.
