E.g. suppose the corresponding organization had been realized in a country, instead of in an organism: This country can certainly have no conscious experiences. Invariance principle/Chalmers: it follows from this that, in the case of an identical biochemical organization, conscious experiences are possible in a system. 1. Ned Block 1978.
