I think that is what Bruno explains (rather my understanding of it), that
"consciousness" (a thing ?) is emergent on all computations passing through
th(is/ese) state(s). If I understand, there is not one computation that
simulate a thing but a set of computation having this state. But it seems to
me that an infinity of computation passing through a particular state exists,
so I do not very well understand how a measure can be associated to it.

I'm not an expert too ;)
