See arXiv:1405.0126 for a quite explicit quantification of what
"integrated" means.

I haven't yet had a chance to fully digest the paper, or take a
position on it, but it seems the charge of it being a vague concept is
not valid.

Interesting. The conclusion are close to what we can expect from diagonalization, without diagonalization. They asks for []p & p, and got only the []p, and grasp well the insuperable problem of getting the "t" (without going at a meta-level where we can take it temporarily for granted, as we manage the theology of a machine much simpler than us).

May be I assume here that []p & p integrates the []p, from the person perspective. The "[]p" can only be felt as some multiple disconnected assembling, like a body.

You are right, using "vague" is not valid here.
