I don’t think it’s even controversial that it cannot be fully described mathematically. I don’t think I’ve heard of an epistemological system that would support this. E.g try to reduce the experience qualia down mathematically.

But there’s also no reason this is required for consciousness to be emergent from non-human-brain systems.

I think one of the hard parts of theory of mind is that we probably will never understand the experience of being in things sufficiently different from ourselves. Any computer system will probably be sufficiently different, so we can’t know what it’s like to be an AI.
