Game of Life is an example 2D system capable of universal computation. I'm not sure this implies consciousness is possible in 2D, but it needs to be considered.
It is easy, although very tedious, to program a Universal Dovetailer, in the game of life, and in that sense, assuming comp or some stronger alpha-comp, it can generate consciousness, at least as seen from inside. And then it generates the physics too (as seen from inside again).
