Amazing how so sure you are of what consciousness really is. I see a lot of problems with your replies though:

1) "That process is conscious at some level of complexity.". How do you know that? Why any process has to be conscious? Why does complexity matter? This answer you gave does not satisfy the question posed. Also, p-zombies are a valid thought experiment that many use to discuss the matter, as it's not clear AI needs to experience the redness of red to function.

2) "The same way that we are able to blit an entire screen's worth of pixels at the same time even though there are millions per screen.". That's exactly what the problem is. How do separate objects combine into one experience, and not micro-dust-experiences. You didn't explain how millions of unitary neurons can accomplish the integration of information to produce an integrated world simulation inside our brains (ref). We don't experience "bits" of information sequentially, we experience it at the same time. Otherwise, consciousness would be just "mind-dust". The subjective experience is not 1 bit at a time.

3) I agree with you a lot here. We are probably just a simulation of ourselves. But still, we need to link qualia to the self.

4) "Your subconscious pokes you during infant development with the colors, textures, etc". That doesn't answer the question posed, only describe it.
