Classical physics is just a technique that bundles together a vast number of quantum events for the sake of simplicity. It just isn't true that classical physics is ontologically correct at some specific scale. QM is true. Classical is a convenient fiction.
And your assertion that consciousness is brain chemistry is just that...an unsupported assertion.
You didn't account for the differences in scale, you just stated they existed. You, or anyboy else for that matter, has yet to explain how QM results in phenomenon at macroscopic levels.
The fact that consciousness has only yet been observed in biological entities possessing a brain is sufficient support for my assertion. You have yet to demonstrate a single example of consciousness not associated with a brain. This means that even if in the distant future we can use QM to explain higher level systems, consciousness arises out of organic chemistry not lower level quantum phenomenon.
