Andrés Gómez-Emilsson ../people/andrés-gómez-emilsson (Qualia Research Institute) https://www.qri.org/ Jun, 20 2022 What do we desire for a theory of consciousness ? We want it to explain why and how the structure of our experience is computationally relevant. Why would nature bother to wire, not only information per se, but our experiences in
