Passive frame theory: A new synthesis.
Behavioral and Brain Sciences (forthcoming)
Abstract
Passive frame theory attempts to illuminate what consciousness is, in mechanistic and
functional terms; it does not address the “implementation” level of analysis (how neurons
instantiate conscious states), an enigma for various disciplines. However, in response to the
commentaries, we discuss how our framework provides clues regarding this enigma. In the
framework, consciousness is passive albeit essential. Without consciousness, there would not be
adaptive skeletomotor action.
