Etymology
This name was coined by William Seager in 1995.
Noun
combination problem (plural combination problems)
- (philosophy) A problem arising from the tension between the seemingly irreducible nature of consciousness, and its ubiquity. If consciousness is ubiquitous, and every atom (or every bit, depending on the theory) has a minimal level of it, then it is not clear how these tiny consciousnesses combine to create larger experiences.
- Coordinate term: binding problem
