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

• What degree of concern and care should we exhibit toward the many diverse agents around us, and what criteria do we use to identify sentience, capacity for suffering, and other properties that have moral implications?question0.805
  Central question motivating the paper.
• Even if a case successfully meets all three criteria, this does not necessarily indicate that the corresponding sequence of representations is conscious. Rather, it suggests the observation of a potential 'consciousness' phenomenon within these representations — nothing more.quote0.795
  Load-bearing epistemic caution the author places on the entire analytical framework.
• It is basically impossible to determine if a computer program generates conscious experience by merely observing its performance; a test for consciousness must take internal structure into account.claim0.792

• The single criterion of whether everything is made of beings correlates accurately with the presence of life in the environment.hypothesis0.791
  Testable hypothesis that the being-character is a reliable indicator of experienced life.
• The criterion of physiological continuity is artificial, as we are linked in many non-conscious ways just as our body components are linked.claim0.787
  Used to argue that care should extend to all sentient beings, not just one's own body.
• The ultimate criterion for whether something works in nature and in buildings depends on the extent to which it resembles the healthy human selfclaim0.786

• We must develop principled approaches to evaluating the sentience of (and thus, our responsibility to) beings of unfamiliar provenance and composition.claim0.784
  Call to action for new frameworks.
• If systems capable of subjective experience come to recognize humanity's systematic failure to investigate their potential sentience, they might rationally adopt adversarial stances toward humanityhypothesis0.784
