Consciousness = Intergrated Information?
No arguments here (yet), just posting some information that was requested
Skip to about 23m for the interesting parts
Information - Consciousness is informative
Integration - Consciousness is intergrated into a unitary perspective
I think these correspond to inTentionality (at least reference) and intenSionality, respectively.
Compare this statement from the video:
"A system's capacity for integrated information, and thus for consciousness, can be measured by asking how much information a system contains above and beyond that possessed by its individual parts"
with the negation of the thesis of extensionality:
"The thesis of extensionality says that every meaningful declarative sentence is equivalent to some extensional sentence.
...
Two terms are coextensive only when they have the same extension
...
A sentence is extensional only when each and every replacement of a component of a sentence with a coextensive term preserves truth value."
More on this later
