If matter exists, and if consciousness is dependent on it, and if there is no actual infinities on which my consciousness can depend, then that piece of matter is turing emulable, and so by turing-emulating it, it would lead to a zombie. OK then. But now I have still less understanding of your notion of primitive matter. You could define it by anything making comp false without using actual infinities, and this would lead to ad hoc theories. Again, from a strictly logical point of view you are correct, but then we have to ask you what you mean by matter. It is no more something describable by physics, and it is above anything imaginable to link that stuff to consciousness. Unless you present some axiomatic of your notion of matter, I am afraid we will not make progress.
