The Importance of New Fundamental Principles for Strong Emergence
In the case of consciousness, we just have this big gap because we're not really what we're trying to explain isn't really a matter of objective functioning at all. So that's why I call strong emergence. Weak emergence is when the emergent phenomena is predictable in principle. Although maybe with great difficulty and practice from what's from the basic components. Whereas strong emergence is whenEmergent phenomena is not really predictable or deducible, even in principle. You need some new fundamental principle to cross the gap. But there's still your own consciousness to explain and the very existence of your own consciousness. Even solipsism doesn't solve the issue.
