• Abstract summary: We set up a framework which naturally subsumes one of the main features of consciousness, that of being other-dependent. We show how our proposal may become a step towards avoiding the hard problem of consciousness, and thereby address the combination problem of conscious experiences.

• Abstract: Scientific studies of consciousness rely on objects whose existence is assumed to be independent of any consciousness. On the contrary, we assume consciousness to be fundamental, and that one of the main features of consciousness is characterized as being other-dependent. We set up a framework which naturally subsumes this feature by defining a compact closed category where morphisms represent conscious processes. These morphisms are a composition of a set of generators, each being specified by their relations with other generators, and therefore co-dependent. The framework is general enough and fits well into a compositional model of consciousness. Interestingly, we also show how our proposal may become a step towards avoiding the hard problem of consciousness, and thereby address the combination problem of conscious experiences.

• Why Is Anything Conscious? [0.0]
  We provide a mathematical formalism describing how biological systems self-organise to hierarchically interpret unlabelled sensory information. We claim that access consciousness at the human level is impossible without the ability to hierarchically model i) the self, ii) the world/others andiii) the self as modelled by others.

• Consciousness defined: requirements for biological and artificial general intelligence [0.0]
  Critically, consciousness is the apparatus that provides the ability to make decisions, but it is not defined by the decision itself. requirements for consciousness include: at least some capability for perception, a memory for the storage of such perceptual information. We can objectively determine consciousness in any conceivable agent, such as non-human animals and artificially intelligent systems.

  Many concerns have been voiced about the ramifications of creating an artificial conscious entity. This is compounded by a marked lack of consensus around what constitutes consciousness. We propose five criteria for determining whether a machine is conscious.

  We propose an alternative "cosine binding" mechanism, which explicitly computes the alignment between features and adjusts weights accordingly. This allows us to draw direct connections to self-attention and biological neural processes, and to shed light on the fundamental dynamics for object-centric representations to emerge in Rotating Features.

  We provide an information theoretic dynamical systems perspective on the richness and ineffability of consciousness. In our framework, the richness of conscious experience corresponds to the amount of information in a conscious state. While our model may not settle all questions relating to the explanatory gap, it makes progress toward a fully physicalist explanation.

We show that our method outperforms previous baselines to set a new state-of-the-art on three publicly available benchmarks.

• Compositional Processing Emerges in Neural Networks Solving Math Problems [100.80518350845668]
  Recent progress in artificial neural networks has shown that when large models are trained on enough linguistic data, grammatical structure emerges in their representations. We extend this work to the domain of mathematical reasoning, where it is possible to formulate precise hypotheses about how meanings should be composed. Our work shows that neural networks are not only able to infer something about the structured relationships implicit in their training data, but can also deploy this knowledge to guide the composition of individual meanings into composite wholes.
