Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The explanatory gap is the claim that consciousness and human experiences such as qualia cannot be fully explained only by physical mechanical processes. Proponents of this view claim that the mind is substantially and qualitatively different from the brain and that the existence of something metaphysically extra-physical is required to 'fill the gap.' The explanatory gap has vexed and intrigued philosophers and AI researchers alike for decades and caused considerable debate. To take a condition in which there is no gap, imagine a modern computer: as marvelous as these devices are, their behavior can be fully explained by their circuitry, and vice versa. By contrast, it is thought by some that consciousness constitutes a separate effect that demands another cause, and that this cause is either outside of the physical world (dualism) or due to as yet unknown physical phenomena.
