New JC! Mike Jiao presents the Quantum-like Qualia Hypote from @naotsuchiya.bsky.social et al. 2025!

This is not a quantum theory of consciousness in the traditional sense, but an hypothesis on how to experimentally measure qualia through the math of QT.

We found this paper so interesting that we reached out to its authors @johanneskleiner.bsky.social and Tim Ludwig, and they joined us for a follow up conversation!

The “pseudoscience” letter is not only disappointing but also perplexing. Why did 100+ accomplished scholars sign a critique of IIT based on a fragmented understanding and weak arguments? (1/4)

Is my 'red' your 'red'?

Our new paper partially answers this by comparing ways sets of color experiences are similar between individuals (structural similarity comparisons). If these structures can't be aligned between people, they can't experience the same 'red'.

Whether one person’s subjective experience of the ‘redness’ of red is equivalent to another’s is a fundamental question in consciousness studies. Intersubjective comparison of the relational structure...
