what would it take for it to be conscious, on each of the major theories, and how does the evidence bear on each?

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

• 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.quote0.801
  Load-bearing epistemic caution the author places on the entire analytical framework.
• Consciousness remains without an agreed scientific characterization, without a validated theory connecting mechanism to experience, and without criteria for establishing its presence or absence in any systemclaim0.780

• Can computers be conscious? Or more specifically, can today's computers fully emulate the way in which organisms compute minds?question0.779
  Central research question motivating the entire paper
• The features emphasized by theories of consciousness are not unique to brains.claim0.779
  The core argument that ToC functional principles do not pick out brains as a privileged substrate for inner perspective.
• For current LLMs, the overall credence in consciousness is driven as much by where theoretical credence is placed across levels as by how the evidence is readclaim0.778
  Key finding of the Bayesian illustrative analysis in Section 7.4.7.
• Theory of Mind is a subset of cognitive abilities enabled by consciousness, not its equivalent; consciousness is a prerequisite for ToM, but ToM is not the entirety of consciousness.claim0.770
  Theoretical clarification distinguishing ToM from consciousness to frame the study's approach.
• If you could accept it, it would finally make sense of all of that, because it finally answers these questions fully.claim0.764
  The plenum model provides a unifying explanation for the beauty and life of centers.
