While I don't necessarily buy the panpsychism you're outlining, I appreciate the fact that you actually make the distinction between experience of qualia (the hard problem) and self-awareness, which we arguably already are capable of both modelling and implementing successfully. I always found it dubious that people privilege self awareness so greatly in discussions of consciousness considering the fact that many beings that most recognise as at least sentient such as dogs and other higher mammals often lack it, and arguably many humans too (and I'm not just talking about those before the age of 4 either).
