What is Integrated Information Theory?

On qualia


Qualia is the ability to subjectively experience. So for example you can see color not necessarily as it is, but as you see it. What you see as red could be what another person sees as blue, because there is no universal experience of red or blue.

Ive always thought of that since I was a kid. If people see the same color as me. Its obviously an individual experience that nobody else can ever know.

Me too, but at least black and white should be perceived in the same way by everyone.

I believe this study is Wilbers Zone 2 within integral methodological​ pluralism. Upper left quadrant is interior consciousness​ (qualia), and zone 2 studies consciousness scientifically....

useful.. thanks for the update
