Concepts (3)

concept
  • Multiple Realisability
    implements
    The fact that coarser descriptions can be realised by many finer-grained organisations.
  • Supervenience
    implements
    Philosophical principle that higher-level properties are determined by lower-level properties; particles entail collective characters
  • Critical Level of Description for Consciousness
    implements
    The coarsest level that still retains the structure relevant to consciousness, per a given theory.

Frameworks (5)

framework
  • Integrated Information Theory
    associated_with
    Tononi et al. framework quantifying consciousness via integration; provides mathematical tools for measuring agent complexity.
  • Biological Naturalism
    associated_with
    Searle and Seth's position that consciousness requires specific biological/autopoietic processes; explicitly rejected by CIMC on functionalist grounds
  • Marr's Three Levels of Analysis
    extends
    Framework for analyzing cognitive systems at computational, algorithmic, and implementation levels; invoked to situate the paper's contributions
  • Bayesian Network Model of Consciousness Attribution
    implements
    The paper's formal Bayesian machinery translating the supervenience hierarchy into conditional independence and aggregated credence.
  • Enactivism / 4E Cognition
    associated_with
    Organism-environment functionalist view positioned at Level 5.
