Regarding consciousness? Computational mind. Not my theory, as it were, just the one with which I'm most familiar and the one with which I'm most comfortable. Your number 1 (even if it was a mirror of pixie dust and fairy farts I;d be inclined to say that pixie dust and fairy farts were performing computation). There would still be plenty of questions, plenty of things to wonder about and figure out (probably all the things you're wondering about). Knowing, for example, that we have a comp mind - knowing that alone..being able to establish it - would leave most of the questions regarding mind as unanswered as they were before. There are just a few that comp mind makes meaningless -if true-, is all.
Knowing that a car has an engine which runs on tiny little explosions doesn;t really exhaust the subject of car knowledge either, after all.

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!
