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?

I’ll stress again. You can in principle make an artificial brain out of something inorganic. It needs to duplicate the processes in the brain that cause consciousness. Biology points the way because brains cause minds. The depiction in Ex Machina of a blue glowing thing is apt.
