This course aims to explore the theory of conscious agents and their interactions, providing a formal solution to the combination problem. By the end of the course, learners will understand the concept of conscious agents, the fusion of subjects and qualia, and the dynamics of agent interactions. The course teaches skills such as analyzing Markovian kernels, understanding the fusion simplex, and interpreting decorated permutations. The teaching method involves theoretical explanations and mathematical concepts. This course is intended for individuals interested in consciousness studies, theoretical physics, and philosophy of mind.
