the question is would there be more than one consciousness?
Well, that is an interesting question, but it is not relevant for the
understanding that computationalism leads to the problem of extracting
the physical laws from a measure on relative computations problem in
arithmetic.
What leads to that is the assumption that computations exist independent
of physics and that computations instantiate thoughts (independent of
physics). But the argument seems somewhat circular since you assume
that the different physical processes associated with location make the
thoughts different.
