Title
Consciousness as an ontological primitive
Abstract
Distinctions can be made between information-processing, different kinds of knowledge, and understanding (intelligence). AI may be incapable of the type of understanding/intelligence known to humans. On the origins of consciousness, panpsychism may be a more rationally satisfying explanation than emergence. Some brief reflections are included on the relation between matter and consciousness, and on hemisphere differences and AI.
