For me, the question of consciousness is more than a question of pure mechanism. The mystery for me is the particularity/locality of experience. It's one thing to say that we have encountered these thousands of clocks, and here is exactly how they work (mechanism). It's far more mysterious to find one's entire experience suddenly located at the epicenter at one clock in particular - with seemingly no access to similar experience of other clocks. The issue of particularity is the real problem for me. And I can't see how claiming that it is imaginary helps - it's my most convincing experience.
