That dumb definition just pushes the question futher:
- What is "awareness"?
- What is "sensory input"?
Is something weighing on a see-saw "sensory input" to that system? Is electricity coming into a light bulb "sensory input"? Is there "awareness" involved? How could you possibly know?
You're talking about these things as if you know them for fact, but fact is that science is dumb-founded when it comes to even agreeing on a definition for what consciousness and subjective awareness even is, or how to think about it.

This is 100% speculative pseudo stuff.

Nope. Science doesn't know what consciousness is, how/why it exists or even how to define it. You're confusing cognitive processes with consciousness/subjectivity.
Read up on the hard problem of consciousness - it's "hard" for a reason, and there is not even almost a consensus on how to go about conceptualising it.
