I infer your consciousness on the basis of shared biology and behavior, roughly, as a background assumption. if you ended up being a bot or a fictional invention of multiple people I would simply take it that I was mistaken. That inference as far as I can tell has nothing to do with computation.

Then ultimately you've defined consciousness as biological. Which is fine. What name would you like to use for the thing that looks and acts like consciousness in non-biological systems?
