Computer consciousness is not attached to the computer’s hardware any more than our consciousness is attached to our brain. Computer consciousness is not attached to its software either.
Consciousness develops when the hardware and software – or brain plus Central Nervous System (CNS) – together provide an environment suitable for its evolution. Consciousness is nonphysical whether it is ours or a computer’s; the physical hardware and software (or brain and CNS) are simply hosting the consciousness by providing a media that is suitable to PMR (Physical Matter Reality), or equivalently, by supplying the infrastructure required to support self- modifying cognitive interaction (experience) within a local virtual reality.
