Interesting topic, but I can only see one chapter. Based on chapter names it seems you lean closer to cybernetics or process philosophy. Is that true? I find ignoring time and process to be the greatest sin in the field of consciousness. The big issue is not that we don't know the quantum trick or property-dualism that explains consciousness, but that we try to remove time and process from it. That is impossible, a static explanation will never capture dynamic execution of a system.

I worked on similar topics, I publish on a "personal" subreddit.

		Cybernetics is behind all modern AI (Turing was a cyberneticist), and also modern cognitive science with the ideas close to hybrid computing, neuromorphic computing, enactivism, embodied minds etc. Basically, cyberneticists were functionalists - and that allows for multiple realizability. At the core of the book is the question of consciousness and qualia (and I do believe that a walkthrough through computational complexity is necessary, especially taking into account TIME and SPACE for both human neural processing and artificial one, differentiating between being incomputable in principle, being incomputable in practice or being tractable.
