Soul is something else I would definitely avoid that one! You are totally ignoring any communicational aspects of consciousness that are related to computational topology. And like others would like to segment it out as "communication". Sure whatever... In being rational it is easy to compress out any Gödel paths to meta. And saying that we are just a computation, well that's really a model, all models are wrong but some useful? I would say that with consciousness the model is the computation. Tada!
