I think it’s a mistake to consider consciousness a high-level property. Two electrons interacting are conscious, albeit briefly and in a very limited way.

This weakens the concept of consciousness so much as to make it no longer meaningful.

Is that a fact?
If consciousness is a lower level property...is it casually active?
And if it is a lower level property...why can’t I introspect a highly detailed brain scan?

I don’t think so. It requires you to be much more precise about what it is that you care about when you are asking “is system X conscious?”
