OK. From which I can only deduce that either consciousness isn't related (purely) to classical computational states, but requires some extras, or it can be instantiated in ANY sequence of states that meet some set of criteria, regardless of whether these occur in a rock or a Boltzmann brain or whatever. (Or indeed in a book called "Einstein's Brain" that I read about in another book by Doug Hofstadter.)
