Not at all. A highly conscious person can easily pretend to be less conscious, or just catatonic. What else is there? Qualia. Feelings, sights, sounds, flavors, thoughts, personhood, etc. There are no 'models' outside of consciousness.

I'm not a collection of cells. My body was a cell that divides billions of times. I am a single experience. I am a lifetime within the totality of experiences. Bodies, cells, objects are appearances within the sense of tangibility, which separates this experience from all others.

Consciousness is simply the activation of these models to further model and find relevant self survival/thriving connections. Remember, the goal is integrity, not conformity. So how about an answer?

I don't think that 'models' can exist outside of consciousness.

More specifically, what is the difference between computation in a computer and computations in a human mind as attention is building models and finding relevant connections between models for....? What?
-
I think it's important to be *absolutely literal* when it comes to these issues. A machine is a collection of objects that we use to automate some physical task. Computations do not exist in those machines as the tasks occur without any need for interpretation as math.

So what would you say is the difference between a living organism, a machine, and non-living things?
-
I think that a non-living object can be mechanized to grow, move and reproduce itself without being a living organism. The non-life/life distinction is an artifact of our limited perception of natural properties, however, a machine has no natural properties. There's no 'it' there

Why the bad reaction to self survival functioning? Your own theory suggests evolutionary tuned behavior motivators generate self survival actions. The models of the world are formed as these self survival/thriving desires are satisfied.
