Anesthetics make that emergent behavior to cease or something to that effect. The hard problem is applicable to computers too, but they don't rely on any quantum phenomena, which is enough to show, that quantum phenomena are irrelevant and are more likely to be a hindrance, if they were, they would introduce randomness, which leads to hard indeterminism.

>they would introduce randomness

Not good enough for free will, which needs true unknownability, like in, we don't know whether Schrödinger's cat is dead or alive, until we look.

You already get that unknowability at the intramolecular level, i.e. pharmacological agents binding to receptors.

Your theory adds zero explanatory power.
