Is that accurate though? Is consciousness different from information processing? Model based control theories would beg to differ. Perhaps we've mistakenly believed in the uniqueness and separateness of our subjectivity.
Perhaps minds are brains, and brains are processors, and processing is a material reaction. Perhaps all sorts of seeming bio automata possess it in kind, if not in quality. Maybe it isn't limited to living things at all. Would that make it fundamental? Maybe not, but far more basic than we've supposed, I suspect.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
