Genuine physical causal integration required for Level 3 (intrinsic causal-structure) consciousness is more likely achievable in neuromorphic hardware with collocated memory/processing than in von Neumann architectures

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

• Three criteria for consciousness-capable substrates: hybrid computation, scale-inseparability with metabolic embedding, dynamico-structural co-determination.hypothesis0.798
  Proposed necessary conditions for any substrate (biological or artificial) to support consciousness; integrates discrete-continuous, multiscale, and adaptive properties.
• If computational functionalism is true, consciousness in AI systems built on conventional hardware is possible in principle.claim0.792
  Core claim enabling the indicator method's relevance to current AI systems
• Human consciousness is tied to a biological learning algorithm — the simplest algorithm discoverable by evolutionary search to train a self-organizing biological substrate to become intelligent.claim0.791
  Core theoretical claim connecting consciousness to biological learning
• Consciousness in AI is best assessed by drawing on neuroscientific theories of consciousness.claim0.789
  Central methodological claim of the paper.
• Consciousness is the ground of reality, not an emergent property, so artificial systems participate in it genuinely.claim0.788
• General computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousnesshypothesis0.787
  CIMC's central testable hypothesis grounding the entire research program
• 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.hypothesis0.786
  The central hypothesis of the paper
• Most theories of consciousness are already substrate-neutral; neurocentric readings are convention, not content commitment.claim0.782
