  • CIMC's central hypothesis: general computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousness, verifiable through internal structure analysis
  • Category Theoryconcept0.728
    Fundamental mathematical tool; poset-as-category provides simple instances of categorical notions like products and adjunctions.
  • Turing Machineconcept0.726
    Theoretical construct establishing classical demarcation between machine and environment via input/output channels.
  • Stack Theoryframework0.717
    Bennett's multi-level formal account of representation as a stack of abstraction layers, applied to representational time.
  • Schemata Theoryframework0.716
    Holland's mathematical account showing schemata must appear in any successful adaptive system, used to ground the necessity of patterns
  • Midbrain Theoryframework0.714
    Theory that consciousness depends on integrated spatiotemporal modeling in the midbrain and basal ganglia for action selection.
  • Theory of Mind (ToM)framework0.713
    The cognitive ability to attribute mental states to oneself and others; used as the empirical domain for testing LLM representations.
  • Hartmanis & Stearns framework for machine behavior; relevant to formalizing regulators as input-output systems.
