A review of theories of consciousness within Predictive Processing, Active Inference, and the Free Energy Principle suggests that the precision and complexity of an internal generative model are the minimal necessary components for conscious experience. This forms a Minimal Unifying Model of consciousness, synthesizing existing proposals.
Review of Philosophy and Psychology February 27, 2021 Krzysztof Sękowski, Wiktor Rorot
The debate about consciousness is stuck, with the "hard problem" at its center and opposing realist and eliminativist camps unable to agree. Recent attempts to move the debate by focusing on "intuitions" have used the term loosely. This paper argues that the ontological and epistemological status of intuitions limits arguments that rely on them. The authors propose a way forward by studying a specific, "positive" kind of intuition, adopting elements of the methodological "Canberra Plan" in an approach they call "The Canberrish Plan for Consciousness."
