In which case their consciousness supervenes on their simulated

Simulated beings could be conscious with their simulated brains in arithmetic.



This is still physical supervenience,

yes, even when the brains are simulated in arithmetic, as to get the right measure, that simulation will have to have the right relative measure.



of the sort Bruce was
