Abstract
This article considers an edition of the study of the mind that follows a perceived unity among already apparent and developed theories while incurring no contradictions. The formation of consciousness describes a universal basis (otherwise not introduced by any other theory) for consciousness in the passive information (intermediate “conscious material”) that is the non-phenomenal realization of one's singularities and the prior entailment towards the related phenomenal consciousness. The idea of the passive information is to construct Consciousness on the idea of intermediate conscious material that can hence be used to construct Consciousness on a base of transformative non-conscious material: a mechanism; this idea is reliant on introduced theories in the text. Note that it disparages the information-based positions of IIT and GWT on account of their arbitrary and otherwise inexplicable positions.
