> Consciousness has, as yet, no empirical explanation. Because nobody has a definition and when it turns out that computers can fit the definition people will move the goalposts. The hard problem of consciousness is getting a priest to agree to a definition that a scientist can test. Because everything that touches the real world can probably be modelled with distressing accuracy by matrix multiplications and a little non-linearity. |

Scientists are free (assuming free will) to define their own, which I think they (some) actually have.
