experiential information space

of course, kyrsten asks the hardest question possible right off the bat, "And I'm a little confused as to what defines an experiencial information space...?" to even attempt to answer your question (because I'm not sure chalmers has actually tried to make a well articulated answer) I'm going to use the same analogy, to an information space (albeit not an experiential one), as the author of The Place of Mind, Brian Cooney.

Take as an example a beach cottage which, the rental brochure tells us, "sleeps eight." We know only that it is currently occupied by one or more renters. Assume, for simplicity, that it is equally likely that the cottage is occupied by any number of persons from one to eight. This cottage scenario contains an amount of uncertainty which is greater or lesser depending on the number that the cottage sleeps. If it slept more than eight, more possibilities would need to be eliminated for me to know exactly how many occupants there were... The cottage-that-sleeps-eight is a physically embodied information space with eight possible information states (nine if you count unoccupied).
