Abstract
In this paper I am going to give a mathematical theory of Integrated Information Theory, using entropy as measure of information and hence, as the information distance function. Also, we will consider a set, whose open subsets are mechanisms and topology is the system, we use these two modification in the structure of Integrated Information Theory [2] and Quantum Integrated Information theory [3], to define Entropic Integrated Information Theory, we will also justify our claims to use why entropy should be use as a measure of cause/effect information and as information distance function using [1]. We will also see the relationship of entanglement with concept and conceptual information. This paper is an attempt to binds consciousness, quantum information, entanglement and quantum mechanics together.
