You would need to explain why consciousness is a discrete thing though, you don't feel what a rock feels just because you are close to it. You just experience the data from a small subset of neurons in your brain, why not the other neurons? So not even computational connectivity explains it, otherwise your consciousness wouldn't be tricked by optical illusions, since it would be able to feel the data flowing through the optical nerves before the computations that creates those illusions happens.

I'm not sure I understand.

I can be conscious of the existence of the rock. Doesn't mean that I am the rock.

Each interaction has different participants that are conscious of each other in their own ways.
