I think you are very confused about consciousness, which is nothing more than what an algorithm feels like from the inside. There is nothing mysterious about it.

But we are now way off topic.



You are claiming to be able to mathematically model consciousness or that it is theoretically possible. So what’s the model or proof that it can theoretically be modeled. Your statements regarding were lacking.


Dennett’s Consciousness Explained would be a good resource if you want more worked out theory and explanation.



More than adequately covered in Dennett. There's a whole chapter devoted to the Chinese room IIRC.


It’s not a settled issue in the sense that the experts overwhelmingly agree on one side vs. the other. My link was posted to show a contrarian view. Lots of research papers arguing on either side have been written about the Chinese Room. Your argument is similar to a Christian telling an atheist it’s a settled issue since the book “The Case for a Creator” covers the issue.
