Of course. But this is taken into account in the theoretical
reasoning where we suppose the "brain state" are obtained by
(immaterial) machine doing the computation at the right level.
We cannot know our "right level", so we are not trying to build an
artificial brain. The measure problem comes from the fact that,
whatever the level is, the physics has to be given by a measure on
computations. That is enough to already derive the logic of the
observable, and that a step toward solving the measure problem,
although some other possible manner might exist.
But I think that implies that consciousness (at least human like
consciousness) cannot exist without the physics;
Human like mundane consciousness? yes. OK.
that materialism is not optional.
Stable *ppearance* of some and perhaps different type of material
realities is not optional. Plausibly.
