Embodiment Requirements
Overview
Consciousness might require various embodied, embedded, enactive and extended aspects of brain-body-world interactions
Responses
Extend the CF algorithm to require such interactions, e.g. by being placed in a robot.
Reject the claim that any embodiment features are necessary for consciousness (or place the burden of proof on CF critics to demonstrate the claim).
