[quote]The existence of a "hard problem" is controversial and has been disputed by some philosophers.[4] Providing an answer to this question could lie in understanding the roles that physical processes play in creating consciousness and the extent to which these processes create our subjective qualities of experience.[5][/quote]

Working
on
the
very
plausible
assumption
that
the
processes
in
the
universe
can
be
described
by
(
physical)
models,
do
you
think
you
could
obtain
some
extra
awareness
which
would
feel
this
way
by
applying
these
models
(
which
can
as
well
be
done
with
pen
and
paper)
?
Computers
could
just
as
well
apply
those
models.

Apparently
yes.

Note: "physical" just means it's us who is trying to explain the world and find those models. Just "models" is probably more accurate, since we might not find them all.
