Description
Summary:In response to a comment by Chris Rourk on our article <i>Computing the Integrated Information of a Quantum Mechanism</i>, we briefly (1) consider the role of potential hybrid/classical mechanisms from the perspective of integrated information theory (IIT), (2) discuss whether the (Q)IIT formalism needs to be extended to capture the hypothesized hybrid mechanism, and (3) clarify our motivation for developing a QIIT formalism and its scope of applicability.
