I kind of see the point about logical possibility being what you get if you switch off your knowledge of how the world works, and just run off a minimal axiom set. But I don't know what the connection between that particular set of lower and higher level of organisation is, ie the connection between consciousness and mind. I don't think anyone else does. Zombies are logically conceivable for everybody. But conceivability is not about the world, as you say.
