I don't think it makes sense to ask if a program per se can be conscious. Only a relative running program can have a consciousness attributed to it. (and then by UDA that consciousness will be associated to an infinity of sufficiently similar running programs occuring in the UD (mathematical) execution. Now Peter asks for a running program relatively to a real universe. Then I say that the UDA shows that the "real universe" is a red herring. All what is needed is a running program relatively to an infinity of (mathematical) universal number. I recall that a number u is universal with respect to addition and multiplication (or any ontic theories in which you define the partial recursive functions) when Fu(x,y) = Fx(y) for all x and y. The Fi being defined in the ontic theory.
