Your theory is plausible to a certain degree, I can not argue with that, however if you will allow me the privilege of playing the proverbial fly in the ointment.
Let us say that I was born with complete Achromatopsia and Astigmatism ,how would my perception work in a body that has perfectly working non colorblind eyes.
Surely the perception would be slightly if not completely different?
What happens when the program has a major syntax error as it can not compute the data without fault?
I don't see how your engineering problems change the question. I am not asking if I would still be me. I am asking if the device which had replaced me would have "feewill."
Bearing that in mind, what do you think about that part?
