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?

Please could you elaborate: "Central to this argument is both the insistence on not separating sentience, individuality, and agency (contrary to panpsychism), and the proposition that individuality and agency, which are instantiated already by minimal life, entail sentience."

[1] Sentience->feeling being alive->being a system for which things matter (individuality) & whose actions modulate what matters (agency). (Panpsychism sprinkles sentience everywhere without such systemic requirements.) [2] Individuality/agency->value/norms-> affect/feeling alive
