If I wrote a physics engine in, let’s say, Java, is that not a(n approximate) map of physical reality? I would say so. Yet the physics engine isn’t conscious. It doesn’t have a mind.
True, but it was written by someone with a conscious mind (you), just as a map drawn on paper by a cartographer was drawn by someone with a mind.
