Stephen:

So it seems like we're forced to choose between: a) consciousness has no effect on behavior (epiphenomenalism) or b) a completely detailed simulation of a person based on currently known physics would fail to behave the same as the actual person

c) a completely detailed simulation of a person would behave like the actual person, and have "consciousness", which actually refers to some complex physical property.
