@kyriacos. Conciousness is what information feels like as its being process by a sufficiently complex system.
Phi is a measure of the degree to which the components of a system are aware of one another and thus it is a quantifiable measure for consciousness.
Otherwise im totally with you. The level of made up bs being passed around this forum cuz "quantum" is the new black magic, is just ridiculous.
My advice, the minute someone mentions quantum anything without pointing to the specific paper where the phenomina is explained. We flag them.
