ABSTRACT
David Chalmers (1995) states that "The ultimate goal of a theory of consciousness is a simple and elegant set of fundamental laws, analogous to the fundamental laws of physics." He goes on to suggest that certain psychophysical laws, like higher level principles, are "unlikely to be fundamental. . . analogous to macroscopic principles in physics such as those of thermodynamics or kinematics." and that more fundamental laws "may centrally involve the concept of information." Crick and Koch (Chalmers, 1995) acknowledge that information "may indeed be the key concept, as Chalmers suspects".
