Pete Grindrod - Wishful thinking about consciousness

We consider three distinct but complementary mathematical approaches to the hard problem: quantum consciousness, IIT, and large scale dynamics systems simulation. We identify some strengths and weaknesses of each, and some alignments and conflicts. Our aim is to promote high level dialogue, focussing on the distinct overarching aims and claims of each, and the evidential and evolutionary basis for each, rather than luxuriating in the weeds. Conclusions for discussion are drawn.

I would love to know the relation between ontogeny of network of networks and its relation to genetics determined structures . We know that the brain does not develop correctly without sensory input. There are critical developmental phases that are based on sensory input. That is function development determines development of network structure. joscha bach suggest that consciousness is a functional drive development program for the brain.
