Looking at Muller's paper I find difficulties with the idea of
"observer". He recognizes that the observer state must be much more
than a state of current awareness. And I think his examples show it
must be even much more than the state of a brain. But once you go
beyond current awareness, you're assuming some structure beyond thought
that is storing the information. How big is this information? It seems
to implicitly sneak in a whole world that is not part of consciousness
and never was.

Brent,
It looks like you were right about the importance of including
environmental data in a brain simulation. Markus Muller uses
algorithmic information theory to argue that whether or not a
simulated brain is a zombie or not, depends on a large extent to the
degree in which environmental information is incorporated into the
simulation:
