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:

(See 51 minutes 40 seconds in)
He does not say much there, and taken literally, this is already what
the antic dream argument put in doubt.
If we take the arithmetical first person indeterminacy into account,
it is not so much the environment which needs to be taken into
account, but the collection of all consistent continuation, structured
by the material modes of self-reference.
Consistent continuation of what? That's the question.

If not, it means that the substitution level has chosen correctly, or
that the “brain” was not well copied… (or that we use a non mechanist
theory of mind).
