Maybe. But the failure I wrote of applies if consciousness occurs

applies to that. Unless IIT is modified as Mørch proposes, but
then IIT would not be the same IIT that Aaronson is writing about
6 years ago.
It would still fail though, because Scott's counter example
includes things made of matter:
/
//In my view, IIT fails to solve the Pretty-Hard Problem because
it unavoidably predicts vast amounts of consciousness in physical
systems that no sane person would regard as particularly
“conscious” at all: indeed, systems that do nothing but apply a
low-density parity-check code, or other simple transformations of
their input data. Moreover, IIT predicts not merely that these
systems are “slightly” conscious (which would be fine), but that
they can be unboundedly more conscious than humans are./

Hedda negates the /unboundedly more./
How? And does she provide a bound relative to human consciousness?

"Irrational Computing" has interlinked a series of untreated crystals
and minerals to create a primitive signal processor.
