I liked this a lot and want to read more. I can't avoid noticing how you managed all that without including sentience in the equations. I mention this because it isn't a given, as in "of course, not all sentient beings are conscious but all conscious beings are sentient" because sentience is what brings qualia to the discourse, specific or inferred, and qualia is what brings color to what otherwise would be a barren, gray-scaled landscape. The graffiti on a Brutalist monument, to apply a visual to it... It is a nuance that, IMHO, perhaps should be explored.
Just paying close attention in my reading and adding some brain droppings, George Carlin would say...
Woah footnote 4! Love it.

A deliberate choice.
