The challenge of developing a unified, mathematically rigorous framework for consciousness remains central to neuroscience. Hereby two recent papers are discussed that advance the Human Language-based Consciousness (HLbC) model as a novel, testable alternative to existing theories. The first paper establishes a mathematical equivalence between the HLbC model and the Bayesian brain hypothesis,...
This paper presents a novel framework for measuring consciousness strength based on the Human Language-based Consciousness (HLbC) model. While Integrated Information Theory (IIT) quantifies consciousness via integrated information, the HLbC model views consciousness as a post-hoc process, emphasizing language and probabilistic decision-making. By modeling this decision process, a...
This paper explores the concept of consciousness from a mathematical perspective by using set theory. The individual minds of people can be represented as elements in a set, and the interaction between these sets of minds can be modeled using set operations. Although this mathematical model is an oversimplification of the complexity of human consciousness, it provides a theoretical framework...
quantum mechanics using the HLbC model, which captures consciousness as a proposed physical monism. First, we describe several topics related to this paper.
