I think ultimately a better understanding of the relationship between the brain and consciousness will settle these questions. I also think deep meditation on the nature of simulation vs duplication could clarify a few things too.

Simulation vs duplication seems like a syntactic distinction. If the simulation is faithfully duplicating the dynamics then the two are isomorphic, and that's sufficient to say they are, up to isomorphism, the same.
