Intrinsic cause-effect power: the tradeoff between differentiation and specification
William G. P. Mayner, William Marshall, Giulio Tononi
Integrated information theory (IIT) starts from the existence of consciousness and characterizes its essential properties: every experience is intrinsic, specific, unitary, definit…
Dissociating Artificial Intelligence from Artificial Consciousness
Graham Findlay, William Marshall, Larissa Albantakis +4
Developments in machine learning and computing power suggest that artificial general intelligence is within reach. This raises the question of artificial consciousness: if a comput…
Integrated information theory (IIT) 4.0: Formulating the properties of phenomenal existence in physical terms
Larissa Albantakis, Leonardo Barbosa, Graham Findlay +13
This paper presents Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4.0. IIT aims to account for the properties of experience in physical (operational) terms. It identifies the essential prope…
System Integrated Information
William Marshall, Matteo Grasso, William GP Mayner +7
Integrated information theory (IIT) starts from consciousness itself and identifies a set of properties (axioms) that are true of every conceivable experience. The axioms are trans…
PyPhi: A toolbox for integrated information theory
William G. P. Mayner, William Marshall, Larissa Albantakis +3
Integrated information theory provides a mathematical framework to fully characterize the cause-effect structure of a physical system. Here, we introduce PyPhi, a Python software p…
How causal analysis can reveal autonomy in models of biological systems
William Marshall, Hyunju Kim, Sara I. Walker +2
Standard techniques for studying biological systems largely focus on their dynamical, or, more recently, their informational properties, usually taking either a reductionist or hol…
What caused what? A quantitative account of actual causation using dynamical causal networks
Larissa Albantakis, William Marshall, Erik Hoel +1
Actual causation is concerned with the question "what caused what?" Consider a transition between two states within a system of interacting elements, such as an artificial neural n…
Black-boxing and cause-effect power
William Marshall, Larissa Albantakis, Giulio Tononi
Reductionism assumes that causation in the physical world occurs at the micro level, excluding the emergence of macro-level causation. We challenge this reductionist assumption by…
Mysteries of Visual Experience
Jerome Feldman
Science is a crowning glory of the human spirit and its applications remain our best hope for social progress. But there are limitations to current science and perhaps to any scien…
