I don't see how you could know that. Other than by observing behavior how do you know
what does and doesn't involve consciousness? For that matter, other than by observing
behavior how does Evolution know what does and doesn't involve consciousness? If
Evolution can't see it then Evolution can't select for it, and yet Evolution made me and
I am conscious; this fact severely limits the number of hypothetical processes that can
possibly produce consciousness.
There are many processes that can produce motion and evolution has found a lot of them,
but not all (e.g. not electrostatic propulsion).
