So what if I take an ink made of neural steam cells, and some other stuff to keep them alive and not connecting to one another?
Then the quantum amplitudes and current flows are still nothing like that of a conscious brain. The logical structure only exists in your head; the atoms in my desk have some sort of "logical correspondence" to the ones in my head, for sufficiently arbitrary assignments of representation. "This atom corresponds to that one, and this one to that one over there... so the desk represents my brain." Well, it can, but only in my head!
