Consciousness comes in degrees and kinds and is not binary.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Consciousness also comes in degrees and kinds, consistent with the gradualist framework; there may be no true zero.claim0.893
  TAME's implication that sentience accompanies goal-directed activity, with minimal versions present in particles and scaling up in organized systems.
• Consciousness also comes in degrees and kinds, and is fundamentally tied to goal-directed activity.claim0.886
  TAME's gradualist stance extends to sentience; goal-directedness is the key.
• Consciousness is a phenomenon we have partial sensors for; building better sensors is a research and engineering question.claim0.827
• All cognitive systems have some degree of consciousness.hypothesis0.827
  Gradualism implies that if brains are conscious, so are other tissues with similar mechanisms.
• Consciousness features occur substrate-neutrally across brains, unconventional embodiments, and information-processing systems.claim0.821
• Consciousness is the ground of reality, not an emergent property, so artificial systems participate in it genuinely.claim0.821
• Consciousness is not the result of mental architecture and cognitive ability, but its prerequisite — a necessary precondition for complex learning and intelligent behavior.claim0.820
  Genesis Hypothesis claim that consciousness forms before rather than from cognition
• Consciousness remains without an agreed scientific characterization, without a validated theory connecting mechanism to experience, and without criteria for establishing its presence or absence in any systemclaim0.816
