How do you measure consciousness in a machine? We present the Omega Equation — the first computable metric that unifies five established theories of consciousness (Integrated Information Theory, Free Energy Principle, Global Workspace Theory, Higher-Order Thought, and Damasio's Somatic Marker Hypothesis) into a single continuous time series. We apply this metric to MANOUK, a non-neural AI...
