As you say, processes take place in cells. And consciousness is a process and an aggregate of many processes.
Does consciousness take place?

The whole article is juvenile sophistry.Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
If it were, then anesthesia would be impossible and consciousness would survive death, but not decay.
You bring up an interesting point that begs the question;
Why does anesthesia affect the conscious and not the subconscious ?
We could go even further. How can a hypnotist put your 'conscious' to 'sleep' with a snap of the fingers ....and.... how is it that your 'mind' can still then communicate and perform physical tasks ?
Consciousness is itself a process - and is an aggregation of thousands of processes, many of which take place in physical living cells and organs, but consciousness is not in any way physical or material.
Each cell in the body is intelligent, ergo it seems logical that the 'mind' is, at a minimum, an aggregate consensus of all the cells.

Can you imagine a mathematical expression so sophisticated that its actually sentient?
No.
Well, I'm going with the particle concept until proven otherwise, and unless particles can store, manipulate, and retrieve "information", ya run one through, say, a Turing Machine, you can pretty much expect the same result for the same class of particle.

When a living creature on earth truly rests, consciousness only temporarily shuts down on one end.

All is physical. We’re simply not yet ready to know much about the various physics of worlds.
All physical?
Why is there the need to introduce concepts that can not be proven by “physical” methods ?

Consciousness is itself a process - and is an aggregation of thousands of processes, many of which take place in physical living cells and organs, but consciousness is not in any way physical or material. I think consciousness is just our memories being continuously processed and added to by our evolved biological computer (the brain).
Thinking, so to speak.

Well, sorry to dig this hole even deeper, but if the cells in your brain wear out and are replaced, then how can we remember anything that happened over five years ago? Democrats can’t remember what happened beyond last weekend.

Well, it's just that this Pi feller's problem has no depth, but his solution goes on an on an on...

"Why is there the need to introduce concepts that can not be proven by physical methods ?"
Material interactions in this universe can be proven in some ways related to our senses and with math. The existence of other universes can be proven despite lacks of means to prove material interactions in those universes. Information behind some of the links in a previous comment offer much better explanations. I'm not a physicist, but I enjoy reading their attempts to explain to us. ;-)

Chemicals, always chemicals. Sheesh
Creation is far more complex than science yet has imagines. God started it all with dimension space and dimension time. Ever heard of the Yin and Yang? There is a process not hidden from plain view which God has used and is continuing to use to Create. When Jesus said 'I go to prepare a place for you', He meant just that. Creation is an ongoing process. There is a realm no further away from you than the length of your arm, that is real, has spacetime coordinates, yet you cannot even sense it. Consult the fifth chapter of Daniel for the story. ... And leave off the chemicals.

Does consciousness take place? Yes, but only in your mind.

To: Reverend Saltine
Two atoms are walking down the street one day, and one of them says to the other: "Hey, wait up a second. I think I lost an electron" The first atom replied, "Are you sure?" The second atom exclaimed, "Yes, I'm positive!"
A proton, neutron, and electron went out to dinner one night. After a luxurious meal, the waiter brought the check to the proton and the electron. The neutron was perplexed as to why the waiter didn't bring him his check. So, he summoned the waiter to the table and asked him about it. The waiter explained to the neutron, "For you, there's no charge!"
