At the very least, it takes an understanding of what it’s autocatalysing better than “simply bit manipulation”.
you're using "consciousness" to mean "cognitive pattern" which is exactly the kind of thing that has been fucking up the ability to actually consider consciousness throughout this entire conversation, but other than that yeah

He would be completely correct if physical processes summoned consciousness. For physics to be associated with consciousness, it is exactly that physics must be able to tell the difference between a cognitive process and a non-cognitive process, and assign minds to the former.

*I* can tell the difference between a cognitive and non-cognitive process, and I’m not sure what I am if not a big mess of physics. Rather, I can’t see non-circular grounds for you to argue that I’m not.
