I took your earlier comment to be talking specifically about modelling oneself, and claiming that this is the attainment of consciousness: “you also model yourself as a part of that reality and become conscious.” Modelling other people did not appear to come into it.
The systems I mentioned model themselves. Yet they are not conscious. Therefore modelling oneself is insufficient for consciousness. (I doubt that it is necessary either.)
