f biology is the extrinsic appearance of alters of TWE, then the quest for articial consciousness boils down to abiogenesis: the articial creation of biology from inanimate matter. If this quest succeeds, the result will again be biology, not computer simulations thereof. The dierences between ipping microelectronic switches and actual metabolism are hard to overemphasize. Therefore, there is no empirical reason to believe that a collection of ipping switches could ever be what individualized, private conscious inner life looks like from the outside, even if these ipping switches perfectly mimic the patterns of information ow discernible in metabolism
