A Compositional Model of Consciousness based on Consciousness-Only [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Scientific studies of consciousness rely on objects whose existence is assumed to be independent of any consciousness. On the contrary, we assume consciousness to be fundamental, and that one of the main features of consciousness is characterized as being other-dependent. We set up a framework which naturally subsumes this feature by defining a compact

Consciousness in Physics [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 This essay discusses the idea that a Theory of Everything would not be complete without a theory of consciousness as one of its parts, and the suggestion that new physics may be needed to describe consciousness. I argue that the motivations behind searching for such a theory arise as the result of misunderstandings over the use of language when talking

Amplifying Phenomenal Information: Toward a Fundamental Theory of Consciousness [PDF]
Journal of Consciousness Studies 9(8):3-29 (2002), 1999 Fundamental approaches bypass the problem of getting consciousness from non-conscious components by positing that consciousness is a universal primitive. For example, the double aspect theory of information holds that information has a phenomenal aspect. How then do you get from phenomenal information to human consciousness? This paper proposes that an

Grounded Computation & Consciousness: A Framework for Exploring Consciousness in Machines & Other Organisms [PDF]
arXivComputational modeling is a critical tool for understanding consciousness, but is it enough on its own? This paper discusses the necessity for an ontological basis of consciousness, and introduces a formal framework for grounding computational descriptions into an ontological substrate.

Mathematical Foundations of Consciousness [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 We employ the Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms that characterize sets as mathematical primitives. The Anti-foundation Axiom plays a significant role in our development, since among other of its features, its replacement for the Axiom of Foundation in the Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms motivates Platonic interpretations. These interpretations also depend on such allied
