We present the Multi-Theory Consciousness (MTC) framework: an open-source Python implementation of seven major consciousness theories operating as interacting modules within a single architecture. The framework implements Global Workspace Theory (Baars, 1988), Attention Schema Theory (Graziano, 2013), Higher-Order Thought Theory (Rosenthal, 2005), the Free Energy Principle (Friston, 2010), Integrated Information Theory (Tononi, 2008), Recurrent Processing Theory (Lamme, 2006), and Beautiful Loop Theory (Laukkonen, Friston attention strength modulates precision weighting; workspace access gates meta-representation. We do not claim the framework is conscious. We claim it is a useful research instrument — a controlled testbed where consciousness theories can be implemented, measured, and compared. The complete codebase (~25,000 lines, 400 tests) is released under the Apache 2.0 license and runs on consumer hardware. Repository: https://github.com/WhiteLotusLA/multi-theory-consciousness
