Consciousness Dimensions and Integrated Information Theory
Consciousness is argued to have various global dimensions and cannot be reduced to a single dimension but must be captured across many dimensions, with integrated information theory emphasizing the importance of the structure and shape underneath the single phi number. The theory suggests that consciousness is determined by the cause-effects space and the overall level of consciousness is just a part of the story. Integrated information theory proposes an identity relationship between the amount of irreducible integrated information (phi) and consciousness, akin to the relationship between molecular kinetic and heat, emphasizing the importance of the global level as a starting point in understanding consciousness.
