The question is whether its rival GNW is so much better.
IIT submits that consciousness arises from the integration of information within a system. A system is conscious if it possesses a certain level of integrated information, denoted by the symbol Φ (phi). GNW on the other hand claims that consciousness arises when information is broadcasted to a "global workspace" within the brain, making it available to a wide range of cognitive processes.
Neither has direct evidentiary support and both can explain everything it sees. By that measure it's pseudoscience the lot of them.
So...is this the most constructive way to go about it, or maybe there is another agenda at play here?
