sure, but in exactly the same way rocks are embedded in reality's information-processing systems are creating temporal experiences (erosion, melting, etc)

Great catch. You're absolutely right, that phrasing was misleading in a way that accidentally privileges consciousness over other physical processes.

Consciousness being a purely physical process comparable to rocks eroding from water or whatever is an unproven and still debated presumption.

Note that taking the opposite point doesn't require arguing from religion, either.

If consciousness is immaterial it's probably not also quantum, so it's neither here nor there really.
