And some humans live in England and so do their information processing
there while others do it in the USA. Why is the location of the
processor important specifically to consciousness and not intelligence?
Did I say it was not important to intelligence? You seem to read a lot
that isn't written. The location is important because the tentacles
behave intelligently even when cut off. So the intelligence, and hence
the consciousness, is distributed.

I don't see the connection, in principle you might not even
consciously know where your data is being processed, you only know
where your sense organs are
