1. Facing Up The Problems of Consciousnes
By David Chalmers

2. Introduction
Consciousness has one of the most confusing issues in the science of the mind. All sorts of mental phenomena has been explained by scientific investigation in recent years, but consciousness has stubbornly resisted.

3. The Two Main Problems “Easy Problems” “Hard Problems”
Phenomena of awareness
“Hard Problems”
Experiencing it

4. Easy Problems
The ability to discriminate, categorize, and react to environmental stimuli
The integration of information by a cognitive system
The reportability of mental states
The ability of a system to access its own internal states
The focus attention
The delibareate control of behavior
The difference between wakefulness and sleep

5. The Easy “Problems” Is What It Can Do
The phenomenas associated with the easy problems are part of the notion of consciousness.
An organism appears conscious is another way to say that it is awake.

6. The Hard Problems of Consciousness
The issues of experience
How does the physical system operate the experience?
Why and how does the experience come from the basics of the physical?
How does the physical process gives an rich inner life at all?

7. Experience? See visual sensations. Quality of colors, black & white.
Depth in a visual field.
Stream of conscious thought
Bodily Sensations
Pains, Orgasm, mental images that conjured up, quality of emotion
Perception in different modalities.
The sound of instruments, smell of scent

8. The ambiguity of the term
Conscious experience vs. Awake.
Easy problems are the cognitive abilities and functions.
The hard problem is the mechanism of how it produces reports on internal states
It is frequent that two subjects bypass each other in debates.

9. Crick and Koch Crick & Koch, Baars
Crick & Koch suggest that oscillations active the mechanisms of working memory.
Entails on how information that is received is bound and stored in memory, for later usage.
BINDING.
Baars introduces a global worksplace.
Central processor exchanges communication from host to host.
Arguable, but it doesn’t address the hard problem.

10. Explanatory Gap Joseph Levine introduces deductive entailment.
There’s no full and specific laws or the mechanisms cited.
The target of phenomenon is stochastic in nature, and the best that can be inferred is a conclusion about the probability of the occurrence of the explanatory target
If we had all the specified laws and mechanism in question, and adjusted the stochastic phenomena, then we should have a conclusion.
So , we don’t have an adequate conclusion.
“Misssing Ingredient”

12. A theory of Consciousness Naturalistic Dualism.
The principle of structural coherence
Awareness is a functional notion.
Direct correspondence between consciousness and awareness
Isomorphism. -- constitutes the principle of structural coherence.
Mechanism of awareness correlates to conscious experience.
The prince of organizatonal invariance.
Two systems with the same functional organization will have identical experiences.
The double-aspect theory of information
Isomorphism between physically embodied information space and certain experiential information spaces.
Information has physical and phenomenal aspect.
