I wrote something about consciousness as the result of computation (an idea I'm sure is not new, and somewhat related to attention schema theory, even if I disagree with the author of that on determinism), it's a little bit of a mess as I setup the assumptions, but I still think gets the idea across (as did Shelly to some degree, though his primary interest was the implication for the value of such a life, which I continue to fail entirely to make sense of in the continued text, which I don't recommend reading). http://dusted.dk/pages/thoughts/OnConsciousness.html http://dusted.dk/pages/thoughts/OnConsciousness.html You might find it interesting because Shellys lectures inspired me a lot when writing it, and because it touches on the same subject as your are thinking about.
