Integrated Information Theory's Φ as a Consciousness Proxy: Resource Overview — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: The listed resources describe Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and its Φ (phi) measure as a quantitative proxy for consciousness. MATH: No explicit equations, constants, or ratios are presented in the supplied findings; the sources only point to discussions of Φ without displaying its formal definition. CONNECTION: No geometric‑harmony ratios (0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618), base‑60 motifs, or crystallographic‑symmetry references appear in the material. DEPTH: 2 – the content serves as a pointer to further exposition but does not itself contain mathematical detail to assess the theory's structural depth.
