I don’t know about computation, but it seems to me that memory is a necessary (not sufficient) condition for someone to be conscious.

People with memory loss seem to struggle to pass the bar of consciousness

Obviously a certain amount of population is unable to do that.

> Human learn and grow.

Bacteria can do this too.

This kind of failure of the poor-defined "consciousness" leads to the end of conversation.
