There are some interesting ideas here: "Thomas Metzinger's work on minimal phenomenal experience: the simplest possible conscious experience a human, animal, or biological creature could have. Some suggest pure awareness, free of content. (Anil) Seth points to another possibility: 'foba' — the feeling of being alive." The search here is to find the difference between the machine and the embodied - but I really think we'll find the difference between the abstract and the individual.
