Note also that the expression "computation have qualia" can be misleading. A

Why an infinity of computation??
Because the FPI bears on arithmetic, which contains the running of all universal machine
implementing your code, below your substitution level.
With comp you can attach a mind to some body, but you cannot attach one token body to a
mind, you can attach only an infinities of such bodies, through the interference of all
computations which realize them in arithmetic.
That would preclude my building an intelligent robot having qualia, since it's
computations would always be finite. And I doubt there is room in my head for infinite
computations - certainly not digital ones.
You are right. We cannot build intelligent being with qualia. The computer, and the
3p-robot, does not create that consciousness, it will only help a consciousness, which
is already in Platonia, to be able to manifest itself relatively to you, with the same
statistic for your and the robot continuations.
When a consciousness is not manifested, what is it's content?

It is confusing, but this is because we tend to associate mind to brain or robot, but
mind is an attribute of person, and a brain or a body is only needed for a relative
purpose.
