Literature review reveals an absence of quantitative consciousness metrics in recent publications, highlighting a persistent gap between speculative theories and falsifiable mathematical models.
FINDING: No quantitative consciousness metric emerges; the 2026 search results are dominated by speculative physics claims (consciousness-before-matter) and AI interpretability benchmarks, with only one concrete mathematical artifact (MOASEI competition) — which is unrelated to consciousness. | MATH: No equations, constants, or ratios are present in any abstract or summary. The only formal structure is the MOASEI benchmark's evaluation metrics (undefined in the abstract; likely game-theoretic payoff matrices for wildfire/cyber/ride-sharing tasks). | CONNECTION: None. No occurrence of 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, or crystallographic symmetries. The "consciousness before matter" paper (YouTube) is not peer-reviewed in the provided snippet and offers no mathematical formalism. | DEPTH: 1/10 — The findings are media summaries, not primary research. No falsifiable mathematical content. The only rigorous item (MOASEI) is an engineering benchmark, not a consciousness measuremen Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
