From what I remember Koch and Tononi measure consciousness in Phi ( and phi is complexity) I remember a conversation at Towards a Science of Consciousness conference about this. If Phi is measured in complexity you could make a glass window complex and that is conscious.
Also during Tononi's talk a guy walked through the isle and said something along the lines of 'Phi is the answer, Phi is god, Tononi is our savior'
Thoughts on Phi?
- django77 6y agoCan you really make glass window that much more complex? It's still the same molecular structure with maybe a more complicated shape, but how it interacts with the outside world is still pretty much the same
- hntrader 6y ago"If Phi is measured in complexity you could make a glass window complex and that is conscious." If true, that sounds like a reductio ad absurdum of the hypothesis.
