Fun fact: at least in 2014, IIT was making a testable predictions (I don't know about now, I haven't been following it)
Scott Aaronson (a famous quantum physicist) read the paper and noticed that the way theory is formulated, "evaluating a polynomial on a set of points turns out to be an excellent way to achieve “integrated information,”"
So for example Reed-Solomon codes, as used in CD/DVD players, have very high Φ-value, and thus DVD players are conscious, according to IIT theory.
