So the intelligence, and hence the consciousness, is distributed.
How is that relevant? A mind might not consciously know if its data
was being processed distributively or not and have no why to deduce
that fact no matter intelligent it is unless it had additional
information from its sense organs. If a mind (not to be confused with
a brain) can be said to have a position at all it would be the place
it is thinking about, which is usually the place the sense organs are
observing. Due to human anatomy the sense organs and the place the
data is processed are in almost the same place but that need not be
true for mind in general.
You are implicitly assuming a unity of mind which it might not have.
