I think there's a few questions that need answering first. At least one of them is whether or not a non-stochastic system can be conscious.

To summarize the cutting edge state of understanding of consciousness,: "We don't know".

I'm not saying this isn't a fun little question to think about, but from the perspective of advancing knowledge, it's premature, and assumes an answer to a whole lot of questions.

Am I correct in thinking that you presume humans to be stochastic systems?
