[Sankozi]

Lots of discussions about consciousness yet no useful definition. All fall into one (or more) categories:

- not observable (feelings, agency etc)

- not useful (spiritual definitions, definitions that degrade into consciousness = being human/animal)

[jmull]

Agency is entirely observable.

[Sankozi]

How do you observe the ability to make decisions which action to take? You can observe that one does something, not that they could decide to do something.
