Inertia-Tension Theory (ITT) Version 5: A Testable Physical Theory of Consciousness (Final Consciousness Edition)

Abstract

This version is an integrated revision of ITT Versions 1–4, focusing on consciousness as the primary breakthrough. - Removed Φ borrowed from IIT and the "consciousness constant" G. - Removed cosmology parts that depend on external physical laws. - Retained testable predictions derived from three basic postulates, directly computable from time-series data. - Clearly distinguishes derived conclusions from testable hypotheses. Core contents: 1. Consciousness emergence condition (testable hypothesis): Λ > Λ_noise. 2. Degree of consciousness (operational definition): Ψ(s) = Θ(s). 3. Self-force direction rule (derived conclusion). Provides a complete experimental test guide based on public EEG/fMRI data. All predictions have clear measurement methods and falsification conditions. This version is the final theoretical form of ITT in the domain of consciousness. 本版本是 ITT 版本一至四的整合修正版,以意识问题为第一突破点。 主要修改: - 删除了借用整合信息论(IIT)的 Φ 及“意识常数”G。 - 删除了依赖外部物理定律的宇宙学部分。 - 保留从三条基本公设出发、可直接从时间序列数据计算的可检验预言。 - 明确区分推导结论与可检验假设。 核心内容: 1. 意识涌现条件(可检验假设):Λ > Λ_noise。 2. 意识度(操作化定义):Ψ(s) = Θ(s)。 3. 自反力方向规则(推导结论)。 提供完整的实验检验操作指南(基于公开 EEG/fMRI 数据)。所有预言均有明确的测量方法和证伪条件。 本版本为 ITT 在意识领域的最终理论形态。
