In service to the mathematical underpinnings of the Information Integration Theory of Consciousness (IIT), we introduce four principled measures of integration based on the partial information decomposition framework. We compare our measures to current IIT practice in simple deterministic networks. Our measures are the first IIT-related state-dependent integration measures to naturally obey...
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...
