You confuse UDA and AUDA. The UDA (Universal Dovetailer Argument) assumes mechanism, which is the statement that we can survive with a digital brain prosthesis, which is believed by anyone who does not add magic in the brain). This assume consciousness, brains, doctors, computers, etc. But the UDA motivates to “redo” the thought experience “in arithmetic”, which means limiting the statements on the semi-computable propositions (the sigma_1 sentences) and looking at all the platonic nuances enforced by incompleteness. Then if you are OK with the idea that consciousness is something true, known, undoubtable, yet non definable, and non provable, then those nuances shows that a machine which looks inward does met notion pertaining on itself obeying that semi-axiomatic definition, like the machine meets a notion of matter, which obeys quantum logic, and has to give a measure on them. (Assuming here both QM is correct, and that we are not in a normal malevolent simulation, to be exact).
