As to your point on "how" it works:
Integrated Information Theory (IIT) then suggests the 'how,' explaining how these base properties scale and unify into the self-awareness we experience.

BTW i am not a panpsychist, or a materialist on consciousness I'm undecided -- but am curious about both panpsychism and IIT as interesting...and I agree that the hard problem of consiousness is a fundamental problem.

@tchambers@indieweb.social @dyckron@cosocial.ca Thanks for the reference! I’ll need to go through it to try to understand better what is proposed (although I admit I’m pre-disposed to be pretty sceptical). (In looking at the authors, I’m delighted to find out that Oxford has a “Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing”.)
