The fact that you’re saying that two things can be isomorphic or something close to it, and both say they’re conscious, even though one is and one isn’t — alternately, the claim that you can know things about your substrate just through introspection (why do you think you’re conscious if you think something closely analogous would say so and be wrong?) — seems analogous to saying that zombies can exist, though maybe not as clearly problematic. Does this make you worry?
