“Se consideriamo il cosmo non come un meccanismo inconscio, ma come uno stato creativo, come la manifestazione di un pensiero, di una volontà, siamo portati a cercare un substrato attivo, potremmo quasi dire vivente, per ciascun continuum percettibile.
Allora, il substrato dello spazio appare come l'esistenza (sat); il substrato del tempo come l'esperienza o beatitudine (ānanda); il substrato del pensiero come la coscienza (cit)..”

Origine: The principle of organizational invariance. This principle states that any two systems with the same fine-grained functional organization will have qualitatively identical experiences. If the causal patterns of neural organization were duplicated in silicon, for example, with a silicon chip for every neuron and the same patterns of interaction, then the same experiences would arise. According to this principle, what matters for the emergence of experience is not the specific physical makeup of a system, but the abstract pattern of causal interaction between its components.

Origine: We know that a theory of consciousness requires the addition of something fundamental to our ontology, as everything in physical theory is compatible with the absence of consciousness. We might add some entirely new nonphysical feature, from which experience can be derived, but it is hard to see what such a feature would be like. More likely, we will take experience itself as a fundamental feature of the world, alongside mass, charge, and space-time. If we take experience as fundamental, then we can go about the business of constructing a theory of experience..
