No, you are quite wrong, the question can not be stated. People want an
explanation for consciousness, that is the want to start with something
familiar and proceed with a series of understandable steps until they reach
the idea of consciousness. In other words they want a process, but they
specifically say consciousness is not a process. So they try to dream up a
process to produce something that can not be produced by a process
and the results are not pretty.

The other problem is the last step. No matter how long the series is when I
say "so that produces X and X makes consciousness" they will say "but X is
not Qualia". There is no conceivable answer that would satisfy them, so
that is a pretty good indication the question is meaningless.
It's no wonder this topic generates so much intellectual sounding gibberish.
