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.
被动框架理论试图用机械论和功能术语来说明意识是什么；它没有解决“实现”层面的分析（神经元如何实例化意识状态），这是各学科的一个谜。然而，针对评论意见，我们讨论了我们的框架如何提供关于这个谜的线索。在这个框架中，意识是被动的，但却是必不可少的。没有意识，就不会有适应性的骨骼运动。
