So much turns here on definitions! You can make “consciousness” rich and florid enough that only people possess it, or you minimal enough that anything that can register change and respond to it is conscious...this is why I often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at these issues...

Agreed. That's why I try to frame the question in terms of a notion of sentience as the feeling of being alive.

Funi feel alive - at least - no doubt. But do obligate symbiotes and their partners feel individually or jointly alive - is there 1, 2, or 3 centers of aliveness in the partnership?
