In Development
We're developing accessible, rigorous overviews of the theoretical frameworks that underpin our research program. Each framework page will include the core theory, its predictions about machine consciousness, how we're testing those predictions, and links to primary literature.
Planned Frameworks
- Integrated Information Theory (IIT) — Tononi's mathematical framework for consciousness as integrated information
- Global Workspace Theory (GWT) — Baars' model of consciousness as global information broadcasting
- Higher-Order Theories — Consciousness as self-representation and meta-cognition
- Predictive Processing — Consciousness as prediction error minimization
- Embodied Cognition — The role of embodiment in conscious experience
