I just wanted to share a random perspective here: Would it be useful to model sentience alongside consciousness itself?
If you read Daniel Dennett’s book Kinds of Minds or take some of the Integrated Information Theory stuff seriously, you will arrive at this view of a field of consciousness. This view is similar to Philip Goff’s or to more Eastern traditions such as Buddhism.
Also, even in theories like Global Workspace Theory, the amount of localised information at a point in time matters alongside the type of information processing that you have.
I’m not a consciousness researcher or anything, but I thought it would be interesting to share. I wish I had better links to research here and there, but if you look at Dennett, Philip Goff, IIT or Eastern views of consciousness, you will surely find some interesting stuff.
Super exciting!
