Then I have no idea what you meant by "If you use the language test then yes and FHE encrypted sm with a lost key is still conscious".
If I ask you a question and somehow constrain you only to answer yes or no, that doesn't stop you being conscious as you decide your answer. There's a simulation of your whole brain in there, and it arrives at its yes/no answer by doing whatever your brain usually does to decide. All that's unusual is the context. (But the context is very unusual.)
I would say that no the FHE is not because the most important aspect of language is communication and meaning. The ability to communicate matters not as long as it cannot have meaning to at least one other person. Upon the 2nd point we are agreed.
