Title
Absolute units: The metabolic basis of the experiential self
Abstract
Unity is intrinsic to being both an experiencing and an embodied subject. Computational accounts of consciousness, being observer-relative, cannot account for this unity. The thermodynamics of life can, but, contra Seth’s suggestion, the free energy principle fails to capture the distinctive metabolic interdependencies by virtue of which a living system constitutes itself as a unified perspective on the world.
