Mind the Gap: A Seven-Question Field-Map Highlights Consciousness Science's Critical, Neglected, Terrain
[post]
2019
unpublished
I identify seven crucial questions for individual theories-of-consciousness, and apply them to five leading approaches (IIT, GNW, PC, HoT and Orch-OR), highlighting similarities and differences. Under simple quantification, the median score is 1.5/7 (or about 20%!), and the field-leader is Orch-OR (but still scoring only 2.5/7!). Beyond these introductory illustrations, the seven-question approach can map all theoretical stances, and identify what's critically missing from today's field.
