Integrated information theory (IIT) 4.0: formulating the properties of phenomenal existence in physical terms
This paper presents Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4.0. IIT aims to account for the
properties of experience in physical (operational) terms. It identifies the essential properties …

Dissociating Artificial Intelligence from Artificial Consciousness
Developments in machine learning and computing power suggest that artificial general
intelligence is within reach. This raises the question of artificial consciousness: if a computer …

Intrinsic meaning, perception, and matching
Integrated information theory (IIT) argues that the substrate of consciousness is a maximally
irreducible complex of units. Together, subsets of the complex specify a cause-effect …

Why does time feel the way it does? Towards a principled account of temporal experience
Time flows, or at least the time of our experience does. Can we provide an objective account
of why experience, confined to the short window of the conscious present, encompasses a …

On the probabilistic character of irreducible mental causation
DR Dimitrijević - Synthese, 2024 - Springer
It has recently been remarked that the argument for physicalism from the causal closure of
the physical is incomplete. It is only effective against mental causation manifested in the …
