Is Consciousness Computable? Quantifying Integrated Information Using Algorithmic Information Theory
In this article we review Tononi’s (2008) theory of consciousness as integrated information. We argue that previous formalizations of integrated information (e.g. Griffith, 2014) depend on information loss. Since lossy integration would necessitate continuous damage to existing memories, we propose it is more natural to frame consciousness as a lossless integrative process and provide a formali...
متن کاملInformation and closure in systems theory
The notion of closure plays a prominent role in systems theory where it is used to identify or define the system in distinction from its environment and to explain the autonomy of the system. Here, we present a quantitative measure, as opposed to the already existing qualitative notions, of closure. We shall elaborate upon the observation that cognitive systems can achieve informational closure...
متن کاملIntegrated information theory of consciousness: an updated account.
This article presents an updated account of integrated information theory of consciousness (liT) and some of its implications. /IT stems from thought experiments that lead to phenomenological axioms (existence, compositionality, information, integration, exclusion) and corresponding ontological postulates. The information axiom asserts that every experience is spec~fic - it is what it is by dif...
متن کاملThe Informational Mind and the Information Integration Theory of Consciousness
According to Aleksander and Morton’s informational mind hypothesis, conscious minds are state structures that are created through iconic learning. Distributed representations of colors, edges, objects, etc. are linked with proprioceptive and motor information to generate the awareness of an out-there world. The uniqueness and indivisibility of these iconically learnt states reflect the uniquene...
متن کاملVersion 3.1 Consciousness: A Simple Information Theory Global Workspace Model
The asymptotic limit theorems of information theory permit a concise formulation of Bernard Baars’ global workspace/global broadcast picture of consciousness, focusing on how networks of unconscious cognitive modules are driven by the classic ‘no free lunch’ argument into shifting, tunable, alliances having variable thresholds for signal detection. The model directly accounts for the punctuated...
