No one is claiming it arises from anything besides physics, or at least I’m not.

Oh, I re-read your original comment and you're right. You said the origin of life is mysterious/special, and that we can't find how consciousness starts, but never attributed that mystery/specialness/lack of evidence to magic.

I think the wording made me assume you thought those processes had supernatural aid instead of the the incessant trial-and-error of the universe. That's a common argument when discussing the origin of life and consciousness.

Ah yes, you’re reading me correctly now! Apologies for the lack of clarity.
