Why does "looking ... like the real thing" have any relevance for consciousness? What property of a conscious substance is captured by this "looking like" criteria? Is consciousness (partially) a feature of the substrate itself or how the substrate moves through some background consciousness aether, or something else? If you can't articulate what this special criteria is, then why think a simulation isn't conscious, which by assumption reproduces all information dynamics of the physical phenomena?
