False. It is required.


There is not a single reason that the organism would have evolved an
experience that made sense. All evolutionary advantages would be
advantageous purely in terms of functionality (not what the experience
of that function was).

Incorrect. Functional interpretation of data IS experience. To say it
is required is a statement of faith, an assumption.

So Max, did you understand that the original post was about our current
scientific understanding. Our current scientific understanding is that:

1) Intracell activity (activity within the cells) can be explained in
terms of our current understanding of physics and chemistry.

2) Emergent cell behaviours, such as the kidney or liver, can be
explained in terms of the intracell activity of the cells that make
them up, and intercell activity (activity between the cells). Both
intracell and intercell activity can be explained in terms of our
current understanding of physics and chemistry.

3) Emergent cell behaviours, such as the brain, can be explained in
terms of the intracell activity, and intercell activity (activity
between the cells), of the cells that makes it up. Both intracell and
intercell activity can be explained in terms of our current
understanding of physics and chemistry.

You seem to disagree with one of them but which one that is I am not
sure.

Though the original post is a proof given our current scientific
understanding, though if you want to tell me your theory then go ahead,
though it might be useful if you say whether you accept the original
post a proof beyond reasonable doubt given our current scientific
understanding, or whether you see an error in the reasoning.
