About This Model
This simulation draws from several scientific theories of consciousness:
- Global Workspace Theory (Baars) — Information becomes conscious when broadcast widely across neural networks
- Integrated Information Theory (Tononi) — Φ measures how much a system is "more than the sum of its parts"
- Predictive Processing (Friston) — The brain constantly generates and updates predictions
- Higher-Order Theories — Consciousness requires awareness of awareness
