21.11.2025 00:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Wow! Thanks for the alert to this paper. Is there a way you can share it? I'm interested since our our CTM, a computational model for consciousness, makes decisions without a central executive (CE), see eg arxiv.org/pdf/2403.17101
Most other models, including those from neuro, seem to suggest a CE.

Several weeks ago I had great fun talking about the #Conscious Turing Machine (CTM) with Will Millership & Calum Chase. Links to the podcast are here:

Here are 2 short clips:

Mike Levin is a magician! As I've said a number of times before, if anyone could convince me to be a panpsychist it would be Mike Levin. Here, he's almost convinced me to also become a dualist. What's a mathematician and computationalist to do? π²

In our commentary, we make a case for our premise, and also address misconceptions about computation.
