Event Horizons, Spacetime Geometry, and the Limits of Integrated Consciousness
arXiv Preprint Archive December 28, 2025 Jonathon Sendall
What happens to a unified conscious field when its physical implementation straddles a black hole event horizon? This paper addresses that question for integration-based theories, including Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory, and Predictive Processing. These views share a structural commitment: unity requires a single strongly connected component (SCC) in an effective causal...
