You could assert that text can encode a state of consciousness, but that's an incredibly bold claim with a lot of implications.

You're conflating state and consciousness. Clawbots in particular are agents that persist state across conversations in text files and optionally in other data stores.

It's a bold claim for sure, and not one that I agree with, but not one that's facially false either. We're approaching a point where we will stop having easy answers for why computer systems can't have subjective experience.
