Uploading Conciousness to Computer

[FallentoReason]

Sure, a computer could model the logical processes and such. I don't think that it could model e.g. the sensation of hunger, or an appreciation for Bach's music. These things aren't processes. They're experience-based.

How do you know experiences aren't process-based?

Because if we imagine mental processes as a series of pulleys, ropes and cogs, and we blew this up to a proportion big enough where we could walk in and inspect it, could you then point to where the experience of me 'liking the colour blue' is happening? Can physical processes even represent the proposition 'blue is my favourite colour'?

Similarly, sensations/experiences in relation to our brain are like the speed a car can attain from its motor. Except, a car's mechanical processes can't ever feel the sensation of "going fast", whereas our "motor", the brain, *does* give us sensations related to its processes ergo we can experience. There's no way to reduce this intrinsic difference about us into a physical explanation, because it's simply not a process. It's something *more*.
