I don't see something that I wholly agree with there. Emergent Dualism is probably the closest thing to my own best guess. Personally, I can't imagine any kind of decision making without consciousness. Yes, that does include computers, ants, etc. I see consciousness as a measure of something that exists on a gradient, and not as a discrete phenomenon. There are less complex consciousnesses than ours, and I would be surprised if there weren't more complex ones. As for our own experience of our won consciousness, IMO that is internal modeling.
