David Chalmers on Laws, fundamental - Dictionary of Arguments
I 275 Fundamental Law/Laws/Chalmers: according to the arguments in connection with the missing, dancing and inverted Qualia, it is a law that certain functional organizations F, F will be accompanied by a certain kind of conscious experience. We can expect it to be a result of simple yet fundamental psychophysical laws. >Qualia/Chalmers, >Experience/Chalmers, cf. >Switched Spectra. Until then, our principle of functional invariance (invariance principle, the thesis that two systems with unchanged functional structure will have the same conscious experience when one of the systems has it) serves as a guide for an ultimately valid theory. I 276 Psychophysical Law/Chalmers: Problem: Our principles (two coherence principles (a) psychological/physical, b) structural) and the invariance principle) are too indeterminate with regard to the psychophysical link between the organization of a system and consciousness. >Principles, >Laws/Chalmers._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
