This paper introduces a revolutionary paradigm for consciousness studies by integrating Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR), Attention Schema Theory (AST), and Global Workspace Theory (GWT) through the Genesis-Integration Principle (GIP). Existing models lack comprehensive integration and experimental testability. GIP resolves these issues by...
The study of qualia—the subjective, phenomenal aspect of consciousness—remains a major challenge in cognitive science and philosophy. This paper introduces a unified framework integrating neuroscience, artificial intelligence, thermodynamics, quantum information theory, and cosmic principles to explain qualia. We propose that qualia emerge through genesis, integration, and optimization...
What are qualia in a form that can be jointly addressed by phenomenology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence? This paper addresses this question by focusing on the dynamical organization shared by adaptive biological and artificial systems. I propose that qualia are multilayer adaptive fixed points emerging within hierarchical generative architectures that continuously adapt to their...
