I'm not going to claim I know how the brain works, but I do believe that at a very fundamental level, Materialism can't explain consciousness. I just always assumed that consciousness is as natural, and probably as empty and omnipresent, as space, and the brain is akin to an antenna that interfaces that medium. And no, I can't prove this with science, and analogy is all I have to facilitate explanation.😤
I also assume that physically, the system requires synaptic isolation and cross-talk / bleed. The fact it creates / projects one unified experience tends to suggest cross-talk / convergence at some level.
So I'm not convinced that more cores would necessarily create consciousness, though it could probably imitate it, and even if not, they could run Doom, so there's that.
