标题： Structure & Quality: Conceptual and Formal Foundations for the Mind-Body Problem

摘要： 本文从不同的视角探讨了意识的难题。不再区分物理和心理之间的区别，而是考察了一种更为基础的关系：结构与品质之间的关系。发展了信息论测量方法来量化结构与品质之间的相互决定性，包括一个新颖的Q-S空间来分析两个领域之间的保真度。这一新颖的空间自然地指向了可能存在的结构与品质属性之间五种关系的分类，并通过概念和形式模型加以说明。每个类别的本体论含义被研究，揭示了关于功能主义、新兴主义、唯心主义、泛心论和中立一元论的辩论中的光。这一新的研究方向建立了一个框架，用于推导在进化过程中经历变化的品质系统的理论约束，这在我的配套论文《觉质与自然选择》中进行了探索。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This paper explores the hard problem of consciousness from a different perspective. Instead of drawing distinctions between the physical and the mental, an exploration of a more foundational relationship is examined: the relationship between structure and quality. Information-theoretic measures are developed to quantify the mutual determinability between structure and quality, including a novel Q-S space for analyzing fidelity between the two domains. This novel space naturally points toward a five-fold categorization of possible relationships between structural and qualitative properties, illustrating each through conceptual and formal models. The ontological implications of each category are examined, shedding light on debates around functionalism, emergentism, idealism, panpsychism, and neutral monism. This new line of inquiry has established a framework for deriving theoretical constraints on qualitative systems undergoing evolution that is explored in my companion paper, Qualia & Natural Selection.
