Would it make a difference if the laws of physics prevent or allow a machine from operating in ‘duplicate’ mode?

    That is afaik our current best guess at what consciousness is. If you don’t accept that model as true at least for the moment, I don’t know what we’re talking about.

      We don’t know what consciousness is, that’s my point. It’s called ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ for a reason, there is no consensus.

        That’s why I said current best guess. If we have no idea at all, this entire discussion is useless and OP should delete.
