The target article misrepresents the foundations of integrated information theory (IIT) and ignores many essential publications. It, thus, falls to this lead commentary to outline the axioms and postulates of IIT and correct major misconceptions. The commentary also explains why IIT starts from phenomenology and why it predicts that only select physical substrates can support consciousness. Finally, it highlights that IIT's account of experience - a cause-effect structure quantified by integrated information - has nothing to do with "information transfer."
目标文章对综合信息理论（IIT）的基础存在误解，并且忽略了许多重要的出版物。因此，这篇主要评论文章旨在概述 IIT 的公理和假设，并纠正主要的误解。评论文章还解释了为什么 IIT 从现象学出发，以及为什么它预测只有特定的物理基质才能支持意识。最后，它强调了 IIT 对经验的解释——一种由综合信息量化的因果结构——与“信息传递”无关。
