Key Points

The research aims to evaluate Noetic Diffusion Theory as a framework for understanding consciousness.
Multi-scale evaluation of Noetic Diffusion Theory
Integration of evidence from states like sleep, propofol, and epilepsy
Assessment of capacity collapse and transport-innovation balance
Adaptive capacity plays a crucial role in consciousness interpretation
Entropy and occupancy are not sufficient alone for understanding consciousness
Connections between structural accessibility and consciousness were explored

Abstract

This article evaluates Noetic Diffusion Theory as a multi-scale, measurement-facing framework for consciousness research. It argues that conscious-level interpretation should not rely on entropy, occupancy, or capacity alone, but on C/TI/P regime geometry: capacity collapse, transport-innovation balance, and pathological lock-in. Evidence from sleep, propofol, and epilepsy is integrated with MNPS, MNJ, reachability, NeuralManifoldDynamics, and a speculative cytoskeletal-dendritic accessibility bridge.
