Well, you do believe in consciousness as you agree with "comp1",

Comp1 involves the notion of consciousness, by assuming it
invariant for some digital substitution.
But only a physical digital device - not just abstract digital
substitution.
At step 0? OK. The whole point is that this will be shown spurious.
In thinking about the question of whether playback of a recording
would instantiate consciousness, I'm led to wonder whether the
ability of neurons to grow and to instantiate learning is necessary
to consciousness? It's necessary for humans to learn and that
includes learning new memories, which we consider essential to
personal identity.
No problem with this, but that happens all the time in arithmetic.
