Comparing the Orch OR and B-Man Stra/Tac theories of Consciousness
PsyArXiv November 13, 2024 preprint DOI: 10.31234/osf.io/dcq4f (opens in new tab)
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis work compares the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory with the B-Man Stra/Tac theory of consciousness. The analysis examines the key assumptions, explanatory scope, and empirical support for each framework, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations in accounting for conscious experience. The comparison suggests that while both theories offer distinct mechanistic accounts, neither fully resolves the hard problem of consciousness, and each faces unresolved challenges regarding neural correlates and quantum processes.
