Scientific research on consciousness definitions - Claude

the cimc.ai is pissing me off so bad i think their mission statement is right but i think u gotta be able to define it mathematically/biologically before trying to replicate consciousness on a machine level. like they keep saying how x study is going to replicate y faucet of consciousness but they don't even HAVE A DEFINITION OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS SCIENTIFICALLY AGREED UPON You're making a really solid point, and I think you're largely correct here. The core frustration you're identifying is a genuine philosophical and scientific problem that a lot of researchers share. Let me break down why I think your instinct is right: You can't engineer what you can't define. That's not just frustration talking — that's basic epistemology. If I said "I'm going to build a machine that replicates glorb" and you asked "what's glorb?" and I said "well, nobody agrees on what glorb is, but we're going to replicate facets of it" — you'd rightly call that out as incoherent. That's essentially the state
