Craig,
Hmmm, let me see. If I just take my eye out of its socket and turn
it around then I guess by your theory I'd have self awareness?
It's not my theory, but does computationalism provide a reason why
your eye looking in the mirror doesn't have self-awareness?
The mirror does not compute.

Have a look at this quick video (or get the idea from this_)
Since the VCR can get video feedback of itself, is there any
computational reason why this doesn't count as a degree of self
awareness? Would VCRs which have 'seen themselves' in this way have
a greater chance of developing that awareness than those which have
not? If not, what initial conditions would be necessary for such an
awareness to develop in some machines and how would those initial
conditions appear?
