I meant that if the physics of the brain is computable it follows as a

I don't see this. Why would it at least be possible to make a p-
zombie? (And if you can show by a further argument that it's a
conscious being, then clearly it wasn't a zombie...)
I think he means that strong AI would be possible, and then strong
AI + comp -> conscious programs.
Hmm... That's weak AI, or what I called BEH-MECH (behaviorist
mechanism). "strong AI" is the thesis that AI can be conscious. comp
implies strong AI which implies BEH-MEC, but BEH-MECH does not imply
strong AI (and we get robot zombie in that case), nor does strng AI
implies comp (machine could think does not logically entail that we
are machine, may be other things can thinks too).
