No, it is unclear because this definition insufficiently distinguishes a cluster of related, and ill-defined concepts. Consider a video camera. It seems like it is a consuming a "stream of experiences". But most people wouldn't consider it it conscious. Why not under your definition? It works when on, and is stops when turned off. Black and white. But clearly we are missing some nuance in the details. Maybe we also require some interpretation of the experiences? I can spin a convolutional neural net that identify objects within a video: interpretation. Does that make it conscious? No? Then we need something else to define it. Maybe response to stimuli? We can program machines for that, but then also things like fire respond to environment interactions too. And so on. It really isn't black and white after all.
