If the rules for phenomenal consciousness follow necessarily from physical laws then the phenomenal bridge should not be specified as part of the generating string.
I think your description of phenomenal consciousness as “a problem of mapping between our first-person perspectives (our direct experience) and a shared third-person perspective (the shared understanding of an objective world)” is absolutely correct; and I think that once a particular structure is specified from the outside (third-person), what it looks like from the inside (first-person) follows by necessity.
Demonstrating that first-person experience follows by necessity from the third-person view to be true and clearly showing how is one of my primary fantasy-ambitions, and I don’t claim to know that it is true, but I think it should be true.
