Compatibilist emergence for the science of consciousness
The relationship between subjectivity and its substrate can be understood via the notion of compatibilist emergence, accounting for the plurality of ways nature can host new dynamical laws at higher scales. We discuss how the autopoietic character of life may require and promote the kind of emergence necessary, albeit not sufficient, for consciousness.
