A Measurable Dynamical Framework for Consciousness: From Primordial Origin to Physical Realization

Key Points

• To establish a framework positing that consciousness originates from a primordial conscious principle rather than being a byproduct of matter.
• Proposed the Consciousness Index (CI) based on information richness, network integration, and recursive feedback.
• Developed theoretical formulations connecting primordial consciousness with physical systems.
• Introduced measurable criteria for testing the framework within biological and artificial systems.
• The Consciousness Index (CI) provides a quantifiable measure of consciousness within the proposed framework.
• Evidence supports that specific dynamical conditions lead to the manifestation of this primordial conscious principle in physical forms.
• The framework enables a testable formulation that aligns with physics, indicating potential applications in biological and artificial systems.
