Consciousness is not the global broadcast itself but the second-order perception that orchestrates coherence across representations competing for and achieving global access

• Consciousness, phenomenologically understood, is second-order perception: not just registration of content, but the additional perception that perception is taking place.claim0.837
  Paper's core phenomenological definition of consciousness
• Consciousness is not prediction error resolution as such but the second-order perception that orchestrates coherence across models being maintained and updatedclaim0.819
  CIMC's differentiation from predictive processing: specifying which pattern within predictive processing constitutes consciousness
• A system is conscious if it implements self-organized second-order perception that increases global coherenceclaim0.816
  CIMC's current operational definition, precise enough to generate predictions while subject to revision
• Consciousness features occur substrate-neutrally across brains, unconventional embodiments, and information-processing systems.claim0.800
• There are plausible views (e.g., global workspace theory, higher-order theory) on which autonomy entails phenomenal consciousness.claim0.795
  Tentative conclusion on the autonomy-consciousness link.
• Consciousness is experienced as fields (visual, somatic) with wave-like dynamics; Gabor wavelets may underlie the spatiotemporal rendering of experience.claim0.786
  Cube Flipper's physicalist phenomenology, supported by visual cortex receptive field properties.
• We hypothesize that consciousness may be at the heart of a universal biological learning algorithm — one that runs on self-organizing groups of communicating cells sharing evolutionary incentives — and that it creates rather than results from organized mental architecture.hypothesis0.785
  The Genesis Hypothesis as explicit predictive conjecture
• Consciousness is always happening now — it constitutes what we experience as the immediate present; its minimal state contains only the presence of consciousness itself.claim0.783
