Consciousness is frequently theorized as a candidate for the intrinsic properties of matter, as noted by David Chalmers [1] and Bertrand Russell [2]. This relationship is further supported by arguments that consciousness shares the unobservable nature of intrinsic properties [3] and serves as a potential realizer for physical structure [4], a topic explored by scholars like Derk Pereboom [5].

claimConsciousness shares similarities with the intrinsic properties of physics, specifically that it cannot be directly observed from an outside perspective and it grounds observable extrinsic properties.
perspectiveMax Tegmark disagrees with the conclusion that consciousness is an intrinsic property of matter, arguing instead that the universe is not just describable by mathematics but is mathematics itself.
claimDavid Chalmers views consciousness as a candidate for the intrinsic properties that correspond to the extrinsic properties of physics.
claimBertrand Russell concluded that consciousness is related to the extrinsic properties of matter and labeled these intrinsic properties "quiddities".

Non-physicalist Theories of Consciousness cambridge.org 1 fact
claimThe argument for consciousness as the intrinsic realizer of physical structure relies on the claim that consciousness is the only known intrinsic property, as other purported options like shape or physical colors are reducible to relational or dispositional properties.
