Humans have the specialized hardware. Indeed there's probably billions of them in the brain.
'Non-physics transceiver' sounds like you're back at cartesian dualism. How do you tell it's not just regular physics?

-
Because consciousness exists and can't be physical. I am a Cartesian dualist.
-
Apologies I assumed they were extinct, I think my disagreement is pretty much axiomatic in that case
-
It's not axiomatic, I checked. Consciousness has the wrong kinds of properties to be physical. Physics is epistemically objective. Consciousness is epistemically subjective.
-
We do not yet fully understand matter or consciousness (or the broader category of awareness) so cannot say that conclusively. Concluding upon dualism requires a metaphysical leap which I wouldn't take but I don't begrudge it to anyone else
-
Do you understand the properties of objectivity and subjectivity? That's all that's required. Physics can be investigated by third parties. Consciousness can only be investigated in the first person. The purely naive intuition is accurate in this case.

These are not speculation or opinion. They are provable facts.
