Intelligence Is Not Consciousness

Stathine–Coexon reinterpretation of Anil Seth’s work. Original conceptual formulation by Anand Damani.

Seth repeatedly distinguishes intelligence from consciousness, arguing that the ability to perform tasks should not automatically be equated with subjective experience. (Harvard Business Review)

“Intelligence describes what a system can accomplish; sentience concerns what existence may experience. The Coexon hypothesis asks whether these two dimensions require fundamentally different explanations.”
