If mind were wholly computational or substrate-independent then time would still remain the sole common dimension between inner experience and the mechanics of its realisation, while space and all other qualia were heterogeneous to whatever operations were responsible for them. Even in the case of time, however, there would be a sort of scale-invariance. Put simply, if you and your world were realised as functions in a computer then the speed that computer could vary to any degree while the computations remained the same. All that matters for consciousness is its relation to the physics of the world in which it is enacted. Something is missed here about consciousness and time and their essentially conflicting natures.
