combination problem
Noun
(philosophy)
A
problem
arising
from
the
tension
between
the
seemingly
irreducible
nature
of
consciousness,
and
its
ubiquity.
If
consciousness
is
ubiquitous,
and
every
atom
(or
every
bit,
depending
on
the
theory)
has
a
minimal
level
of
it,
then
it
is
not
clear
how
these
tiny
consciousnesses
combine
to
create
larger
experiences.
Japanese Meaning
哲学において、意識の根本的かつ不可分な性質とその遍在性との間に生じる緊張から生じる問題。もし意識が各所に存在し、全ての原子やビットが最小限の意識を持つとすれば、小さな意識がどのように組み合わさってより大きな経験を形成するかが明確でなくなるという問題。
