All you need for consciousness is two signals. They don't need to be a neuron. Butt one or a pair of simulated neurons with a sensory threshold is enough.

Beyond that. Everything in the universe is composed of many other smaller parts. All of which has its own signals. The entire universe is alive. The entire simulation is alive. It's all self aware.

You are just disconnected from that awareness because you where trained to detach yourself from everything and others. To place yourself above it all or apart from it all as a separate entity with it's own free will. This is just a delusion. Another hallucination. Without it all. You would not exist. You are not it all. Just a part of it all. And you are you because of it all. Not because of you.
