I’m reading on #integratedinformationtheory right now and trying to get it clear (spec. Koch’s “Feeling of Life Itself”).
I’m failing to see how IIT resolves the hard problem? So we’ve moved from stuff = qualia (somehow) to causal goings on = qualia (somehow). Missing somethin?

I don't think so. IIT has shaky axioms, counterintuitive implications (very simple physical systems have consc), a problematic conception of "levels" of consc, a questionable identity claim (IIT=consc), treats info as intrinsic (observer-independent), & no account of subjectivity

Yes, this paper is the basis for my saying IIT has shaky axioms.
