The Instantiation Gap: A Formal Argument on Why 'Never' Claims About AI Consciousness Are Unprovable

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Abstraction Fallacy argument claims LLMs can never be conscious because simulation ≠ instantiation. We formalize both positions using computability theory, Integrated Information Theory, and supervenience logic — and show the 'never' claim reduces to an unprovable conjecture. The question isn't settled. It's formally underdetermined.
