But your "protopsychical parts" seem to be nothing more than the
potential to function in something conscious; which is the same as the
physicalist theory that consciousness arises from the function of matter
in some configurations. Except physicalism is more explicit; it
distinguishes information processing, evidenced by intelligent behavior,
as instantiating consciousness.

As I wrote previously:
cells have some level of *elementary protoconsciousness*. When
combined into certain configurations (like a human brain), these
*protopsychical parts* are fused into something (fully) conscious.
