Giulio Tononi — IIT 4.0: Consciousness as Structure (2025)

Tononi presents the latest version of Integrated Information Theory: consciousness as an intrinsically defined cause-effect structure, with Φ as its quantitative measure.

The most recent academic exposition of IIT 4.0. Tononi refines what counts as the "structure" of consciousness and which substrates can in principle support it.

Why it matters for Neural Cosmology: IIT provides the quantitative language in which consciousness enters the model as a property of network structure, with testable predictions.
