It's by definition not physical. That doesn't mean when you see a physical thing it's not a part of the same thing. A physical thing isn't necessarily the whole thing. Consciousness is not a physical quality. Physical is what we can observe in common objectively. It's not the observer itself (which also observes itself).

If you take a physical entity it's physical because that's the only part of it you can consciously perceive through external stimuli and measure scientifically. It's not the whole and the only quality it possesses only that which it expresses to you internally. So it's not purely physical as we mean it. Obviously physical matter is not entirely physical matter but physical matter with the potential to internally experience consciousness. The physical part refers to its outside. It doesn't know about the inside.

It might not do that all the time and it might not be physical all the time. The thing is science really has very little comprehension of what physical matter actually is other than something it can measure from an external perspective. It can find out how gravity behaves but it cannot tell you fundamentally what it is or why it is. You're going down the road of the measurement of the thing is the thing itself.

Pain is an indicator that something's wrong, and is definitively physical as well. It's reasonably understood, which is how local anesthetics were developed.

I don't think you have the capacity to comprehend based on that. An indication to what? Define wrong. Why does it need to be indicated that something is wrong?

I can program stuff that sends signals that something is wrong but why would it need to feel pain for real, as a real phenomena? It's completely unnecessary for a physical system. Why would it actually hurt?
