Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The capacity for opacity developed quite late phylo- and ontogenetically.

    “and that this remarkable capacity has developed quite late (phylo- and ontogenetically, Metzinger, 2003, 2008).”
  • Phenomenal transparency-opacity is cognitively impenetrable.

    “which implies that phenomenal transparency-opacity is ‘cognitively impenetrable’”
  • Inference about precision may itself be compromised and produce abnormal experiences in derealization or depersonalization or altered states of consciousness.

    “In more dramatic cases, inference about precision may itself be compromised and produce abnormal experiences; e.g., in derealization or depersonalization (cf. Metzinger, 2003; Seth et al., 2012) or altered states of consciousness (Millière, 2017).”
  • A phenomenal self as subject appears exactly when the organism possesses a phenomenal model of the intentionality relation.

    “a phenomenal self as subject appears exactly when the organism possesses a phenomenal model of the intentionality relation [6,7,9,21,22]”

    From Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood (2009) · cites this paper as [7]

  • Because the conscious body model is phenomenally transparent, we fully identify with its representational content and are consciously present as bodily selves.

    “Because this conscious body model is phenomenally transparent because it cannot introspectively be recognized as a model, we fully identify with its representational content and are consciously present as bodily selves (self-identification) [6,7,23,24].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
