So it seems like we’re forced to choose between:
a) consciousness has no effect on behavior (epiphenomenalism)
or
b) a completely detailed simulation of a person based on currently known physics would fail to behave the same as the actual person
c) a completely detailed simulation of a person would behave like the actual person, and have “consciousness”, which actually refers to some complex physical property.
