"an anomalous fact is one that is unexpected and difficult to explain within an existing conceptual framework"

"Traits not important for survival are not as strongly subject to the forces of natural selection and thus may appear unsuited to a particular environment at a particular time."

"We are primarily concerned with how we might identify the presence (or absence) of consciousness, determine the degree to which it is present, and identify some of its features. The problem of consciousness is its subjective nature. Consciousness itself is inaccessible to direct measurement, as conscious experience is subjective and its contents only accessible to the subject themselves"

"As for DP-2147, there is no reason to think that what we are really tracking here is the difference between conscious and non-conscious cognition. We cannot even identify whether the object is alive. We have no markers of life to use as a guide. We need to bear in mind that some processes that may require consciousness in humans could be performed non-consciously by other entities that have evolved or otherwise developed in different ways. Finally, we have no idea on how to decide whether an object is a living organism or a robot. We humans tend to believe that an organism must be mostly organic, hence we readily label a washing-machine as a machine, that is, an artificial object. But this distinction fails to explain why we humans are easily simulated by LyAv. LyAv consistently label hman beings as robots, as machines; surprisingly, it labels an octopus as a conscious living being."
