• We hypothesize that general computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousness, and that successful implementation can be established via analysis or testing.hypothesis0.807
  The central hypothesis of the paper
• Consciousness is not the result of mental architecture and cognitive ability, but its prerequisite — a necessary precondition for complex learning and intelligent behavior.claim0.804
  Genesis Hypothesis claim that consciousness forms before rather than from cognition
• Philosophical debates about the relationship between phenomenal consciousness and moral standing need to engage with neglected questions about the nature of autonomy and its possible links to consciousness.claim0.800
  Call for philosophical attention to autonomy-consciousness links.
• Consciousness suffices for moral patienthood.claim0.791
  Normative premise of the consciousness route.
• General computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousnesshypothesis0.790
  CIMC's central testable hypothesis grounding the entire research program
• The creation of easily satisfied preferences in digital minds does not require controversial assumptions about machine consciousness because preferences can be understood functionallyclaim0.789
  Distinguishes the inexpensive preferences path from the hedonic paths in terms of philosophical controversy
• Consciousness is the ground of reality, not an emergent property, so artificial systems participate in it genuinely.claim0.788
• what would constitute adequate evidence for consciousness in artificial systems?question0.788
