Much of the IIT conversation seems to come down to something like: is maths a science? Most would say no, since there is no empirical side to it: either we have a (proven) truth or we don't. That being said, I don't think anyone would call it a pseudoscience. #iit #consciousness
That's definitely not the claim in the "Pseudoscience" preprint or in the longer Hakwan Lau paper.
On the other hand, it is reasonable to ask what kind of predictions IIT has generated since it is portrayed as a theory of consciousness (not "just" maths).
