论文摘要
本文介绍了综合信息理论（IIT）4.0。 IIT旨在考虑物理（操作）术语中经验的特性。它确定了经验的基本特性（Axioms），渗透了其基板必须满足（假定）的必要和足够特性，并用数学术语表达它们。原则上，假设可以应用于状态下的任何单位系统，以确定其是否有意识，在何种程度和以什么方式。 IIT提供了对经验证据的简约解释，可以进行可检验的预测，并允许推论和外推。 IIT 4.0结合了过去十年中的几个发展，包括将公理的更准确翻译成假定和数学表达式，引入了与假设一致的独特固有信息的量度，以及对因果关系的明确评估。通过完全展开系统的不可还原因果能力，基板指定的区别和关系可以解释经验的质量。
This paper presents Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4.0. IIT aims to account for the properties of experience in physical (operational) terms. It identifies the essential properties of experience (axioms), infers the necessary and sufficient properties that its substrate must satisfy (postulates), and expresses them in mathematical terms. In principle, the postulates can be applied to any system of units in a state to determine whether it is conscious, to what degree, and in what way. IIT offers a parsimonious explanation of empirical evidence, makes testable predictions, and permits inferences and extrapolations. IIT 4.0 incorporates several developments of the past ten years, including a more accurate translation of axioms into postulates and mathematical expressions, the introduction of a unique measure of intrinsic information that is consistent with the postulates, and an explicit assessment of causal relations. By fully unfolding a system's irreducible cause-effect power, the distinctions and relations specified by a substrate can account for the quality of experience.
