I tried some different definitions of consciousness while writing this point, until settling on “able have subjective experiences that transcend the ‘easy problems of consciousness’”
Do you have any suggestions for making this more precise?
Feels like this has too much wiggle room. Like what counts as an “easy” problem of consciousness and what counts as “transcending” it? Generally good definitions avoid words that either do too much work or invite judgement calls about what counts.
I meant if you had any suggested rewords, because there don’t seem to be any perfect definitions of these concepts.
“Easy problems of consciousness” is an established term that is a bit better-defined than consciousness. By transcending, I just meant beyond what can be explained by solving the easy problems of consciousness
