Assembly Theory as a Metric for Sentience

Emulating Lee Cronin’s framework for the physics of selection.

Can we quantify consciousness through the lens of object assembly? This paper explores whether the Assembly Theory index can serve as a metric for the degree of sentient organization in both physical and digital systems.

The Complexity Threshold

If consciousness requires complexity and life requires complexity, and assembly theory is a way of measuring the complexity of processes, is there a complexity threshold where we know sentience starts? Could we begin defining what the threshold of complexity is in the light of assembly theory?
