Your reasoning seems to be:
Since complex interactions produce computations.
Therefore complex interactions produce subjective feelings.
Where's the connection?
Do you understand that the concept of information is just .. anything at all? Literally the arrangement of atoms in a rock can be considered information. The flow of water in sewer pipes can also be considered information. Not only that, but information processing.
It's not information that _we_ are interested in, but it is information none the less.
Why would consciousness only arise from the signals traveling across the brain, but not from water flowing in pipes?
> I think there are experimental results though, we can look at an brain scan and nearly deduce what people are looking at
ok this is all well understood. The brain does information processing and we can sort of tell what's happening in it.
That's not the question at all.
Why does the information feel like something? That is the question.
