Maybe what is missing is context, all that is around the agent. I swallow a pebble. All the context that surrounds me, surrounds the pebble. Thus the pebble is conscious whenever I am. Sure you could object that being inside me is an entirely different context. And maybe you will argue the pebble’s context was different than mine in a way that precluded consciousness as I stood before it, as I grasped it with my fingers, and held it on my tongue. All this careful arrangement of the universe fills the logical necessity of a god in Cartesian style dualisms.
