> Theseus' ship is a problem for a purely materialistic explanation of consciousness,
Theseus's ship is not a problem for materialistic views at all. A function of matter configuration is not the same as a function of matter. In the same way, a wave on water is constantly changing its material makeup, and yet you can still call it "the same wave".
> As for RICH I don't know what that means.
Rich, i.e. non-trivial. That is, no tautologies or something slightly above tautology in the depth of information.
