From Quantifying Vagueness To Pan-niftyism
  In this short paper, we will introduce a simple model for quantifying
philosophical vagueness. There is growing interest in this endeavor to quantify
vague concepts of consciousness, agency, etc. We will then discuss some of the
implications of this model including the conditions under which the
quantification of `nifty' leads to pan-nifty-ism. Understanding this leads to
an interesting insight - the reason a framework to quantify consciousness like
Integrated Information Theory implies (forms of) panpsychism is because there
is favorable structure already implicitly encoded in the construction of the
quantification metric.
