Yes, all those first points make sense. I did want to just point to where I see the most likely cruxes.
Re: neuron count, the idea would be to use various transformations of neuron counts, or of a particular type of neuron. I think it’s a judgment call whether to leave it to the readers to judge; I would prefer giving what one thinks is the most plausible benchmark way of counting and then giving the tools to adjust from there, but your approach is sensible too.
Sorry that I missed your comment and therefore the late reply!
Thank you for sharing. Let me clarify your suggestion here, do you mean you suggest me to give my model of accounting for moral significance, rather than just writing about the number of beings involved?
Also, do you mind sharing your credence of the possibility of digital sentience?

Yes, that’s an accurate characterization of my suggestion. Re: digital sentience, intuitively something in the 80-90% range?
