Turing-completeness might be a sufficient framework for consciousness. (Meaning it would be possible to distill it into an algorithm, even if we have not sufficiently advanced to do so, and even if the slowness of current hardware might make it slow beyond belief.) It might also prove wholly insufficient some day; too constrained to express what we'd call consciousness. The problem, I think, is that we're still so unbelievably far removed from that point (of being able to model and completely probe apart consciousness) that assuming either is just random conjecture.
