A lot to read:
*On the axiomatic foundations of the integrated information theory of
consciousness*
Tim Bayne [ https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/timothy-bayne ]
https://academic.oup.com/nc/article/2018/1/niy007/5047367
*Symposium on Bayne, “On the axiomatic foundations of the integrated
information theory of consciousness”*
http://philosophyofbrains.com/2019/05/20/symposium-on-bayne-on-the-axiomatic-foundations-of-the-integrated-information-theory-of-consciousness.aspx
includes
Hedda Hassel Mørch (commentary):
"[IIT] can also be and is in some ways better interpreted as a form of
Russellian monism, the view that conscious or protoconscious
properties constitute the intrinsic nature of physical properties
(which physics reveals as purely extrinsic and structural), and
therefore would not be (purely) physical. This could be understood as
compatible with IIT’s claim that consciousness is identical with
integrated information, which could be interpreted to say that
consciousness is identical with integrated information understood, not
as a purely physical property, but as a property that may include a
non-physical intrinsic nature."
But read https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1799 first.
