There doesn't need to be a magic dust for consciousness, it could still be a primitive compatible with existing physics. See what Roger Penrose worked on.
- Nevermark 3y agoOr not a primitive but just emergent phenomena. I.e. an intelligent computing engine which learns to model both its environment and itself, with some degree of access and control of its internal processes including when it considers itself. At the point of clear, continuous practical self-awareness, how could it not be “conscious”? It will experience it’s self’s awareness of it’s self-awareness.
