TL;DR
This paper introduces a mathematical framework for assessing how one system can estimate another system's consciousness, emphasizing the relative nature of such assessments and addressing key issues in consciousness studies.
Contribution
It presents a novel mathematical formulation for relative consciousness estimation, providing new insights into measuring consciousness between systems.
Findings
The formulation clarifies the observer-dependent nature of consciousness estimates.
It offers simple solutions to longstanding problems in consciousness measurement.
Abstract
This paper describes a mathematical formulation for measuring how one system can estimate the consciousness of another. This consciousness estimate is always relative to the observer. The paper shows how this formulation leads to simple resolutions of some key problems of consciousness.
