So you demand that a very very small part of the computer have the same
properties as the entire machine or it is not conscious. Then I must
conclude that you are not conscious, not unless you can name which one
of your neurons understands English.
And for the sake of argument let�s assume your theory is true, how could
you ever prove it? If it�s imposable to prove then it�s not science.
