Even if it's all computation, it might be worth it to distinguish sentient and not sentient computations. I think trying to arrive to it by examining particles is a detour at best.

if sentient computation exists as a subset of a computational structure (our universe) it must be said that the computational structure is sentient.

That's like saying all movement must have originated from some Prime Mover. Why is there need for such forced assumptions.
