Is Consciousness Fundamentally Tied To Goaldirected Activity

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

• Consciousness also comes in degrees and kinds, and is fundamentally tied to goal-directed activity.claim0.878
  TAME's gradualist stance extends to sentience; goal-directedness is the key.

• 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.claim0.784
  Core theoretical claim connecting consciousness to biological learning
• Consciousness functions as a coherence-maximizing pattern, minimizing constraint violations between simultaneously active partial models of reality in working memory and perceptual space.claim0.777
  Paper's functional definition of consciousness, based on von der Malsburg's coherence definition
• Consciousness is a phenomenon we have partial sensors for; building better sensors is a research and engineering question.claim0.775
• Consciousness likely distributed across multiscale body components, not localized to brainclaim0.774
  Organs and tissues employ identical mechanisms as brain; lack of direct verbal report does not negate consciousness in body components.
