Yeah, this is related to Stephen Wolfram's principle of computational equivalence and his re-take on "the weather has a mind of his own". Turing machines occur everywhere in nature, emerge from the simplest rules, Wolfram demonstrates, so maybe consciousness is everywhere too. Where to put the scope of computing processes basically. Searle refutes it saying it's nonsensical to contend that a concrete wall could be conscious. I don't know, who knows.
