Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (xml); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. Claim type 'method' rather than 'critique': although the article contains a sustained critique of IIT and of Turing-type tests, its own contribution is a procedure — a set of operational indicators plus a rule for aggregating them — for deciding whom to call conscious. The critique of IIT is captured instead as a contradicts relation. discipline is given as consciousness-science because the paper spans neuroscience, philosophy and AI and is not reducible to any one of them. 2026-08-13 and 2026-08-15 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.
This record’s own method is review, and the tags below follow from that. A review’s findings, quantities and statistics are things stated IN this paper, and some of them report results obtained elsewhere. No tag on this page names a different author. Measured across every review in this corpus, 81% of a review’s tags carry no citation at all — most of them are the review speaking. The corpus does not adjudicate the rest: read an unmarked tag as a claim this paper makes, not necessarily one it made first.
How to read this page. The article itself is not reproduced here — this paper is not cleared for redistribution, so what follows is the tag layer alone. The evidence sentences are withheld with the article. The table at the foot lists every tag the record carries; each row names the facet it belongs to, and the whose words column says whether the tag records the paper's own wording or the tagger's sentence about the paper. Every tag links to each other paper in the corpus carrying it. The machine-readable edition of the same thing is the TEI file beside this one, where the tags live in standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.

Tags on this paper

Every tag the record carries, each linking to every other paper in the corpus that carries it. A tag appears here whether or not its words occur in the article — the spans below are only the ones a sentence in this paper licenses. Of the 22 concept tags on this paper, none is grounded in a quoted sentence. All carry the tagger's gloss of what the term means in this paper, which is not something the article can license.
consciousness awareness indicator criteria threshold evidence measure validity IIT intentionality representation machine robot animal behavior goal-directed brain theory attribution survey model pre-programmed Complex decisions require many variables to be weighed at once, which single-stimulus reflex and habit circuits cannot do; evolution answered this by building brain systems that actively generate rapidly updatable world surveys, and having such a survey is what conscious experience is Being fooled by an illusion is possible only if the brain runs an internal model of the causes of sensory input that can, under ambiguity, make perception deviate from the actual generating process - which is why illusion susceptibility indicates conscious, inferential processing Events must be consciously experienced before they can be stored in declarative memory, so a retrievable episodic trace works backwards as evidence that the original event was experienced consciously indicators of consciousness inside-out approach qualitative richness situatedness integration dynamics and stability goal-directed behavior model-based learning episodic memory conscious-like behavior review

The paper

The full text is not reproduced here. This article is not cleared for redistribution, so the page carries the tag layer only. Its evidence sentences are withheld; the grounding status remains with each tag, and the article itself is at its publisher. The reading view exists for the papers whose licence permits it.

Relations on this page carry a quotation for the claim. Where a relation was separately evidenced — and so tested against the vocabulary for its type — the row says so; none of 5 relations here carry that mark. The rest are the tagger’s reading of the sentence quoted beside them.

'We have reviewed evidence for consciousness in several mammalian and avian species and - although this evidence is not completely unambiguous (and is certainly far from complete) - the force of the combined anatomic, physiological and behavioral-cognitive arguments makes A FAIRLY STRONG CASE.' The qualifier is inside the parenthesis and the conclusion is outside it: a citation keeps the clause after the dash.
