2+2 on an emulated calculator gets a different answer than 2+2 on a real one, because there's different math. Math being physics in this case but not when it undercuts your whole point. Conscious experience must only be possible in this substrate, despite zero evidence to the contrary... and faking the entire substrate with physics math doesn't count because numbers work differently in rocks than in meat.
