Abstract
This paper introduces a revolutionary paradigm for consciousness studies by integrating Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR), Attention Schema Theory (AST), and Global Workspace Theory (GWT) through the Genesis-Integration Principle (GIP). Existing models lack comprehensive integration and experimental testability. GIP resolves these issues by providing a three-stage model—quantum genesis, neural-AI integration, and evolutionary-cosmic optimization—bridging quantum mechanics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and cosmology. We propose a detailed mathematical model predicting consciousness phase transitions and introduce the empirically testable Universal Consciousness Metric (Ψ). This comprehensive approach offers concrete experimental methods, integrates quantum information theory, simulates AI consciousness evolution, and provides astrophysical data validation, establishing a genuinely universal and verifiable theory of consciousness.
