Consciousness is the natural outcome of sufficient memory (neural volume) organized in a sufficiently recursive hierarchy (humans it’s back to front), combined with the origin of all cognition as organization of the body (particularly the bilateral body) for movement, and the evolution of that movement for the purpose of wayfinding. If you have a sense of homeostasis, memory, hippocampal region’s indexing of memories,, even the most elementary development of it, and enough recursive volume (hierarchy) you will develop consciousness simply because the capacity to predict increasing variation of potential increases in wants (consumptions), is a function of the neural volume to do so, and recursion of that memory hierarchy produces the ‘experience’ of continuousness – with humans its around three seconds.
It’s not even complicated. Even Qualia is trivial. What else to you expect stimuli to feel like? Why would you think colors would be experienced as they are when there is no other way to organize them such that we perceive them.
