Integrated information theory: the good, the bad and the misunderstood
Adam B. Barrett, Borjan Milinkovic, Pedro A. M. Mediano +4
The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) is uniquely ambitious in proposing a mathematical formula, derived from apparently fundamental properties of conscious expe…
A scalable estimator of higher-order information in complex dynamical systems
Alberto Liardi, George Blackburne, Hardik Rajpal +2
Our understanding of complex systems rests on our ability to characterise how they perform distributed computation and integrate information. Advances in information theory have in…
A Brain-like Synergistic Core in LLMs Drives Behaviour and Learning
Pedro Urbina-Rodriguez, Zafeirios Fountas, Fernando E. Rosas +5
The independent evolution of intelligence in biological and artificial systems offers a unique opportunity to identify its fundamental computational principles. Here we show that l…
Improved estimators of causal emergence for large systems
Madalina I. Sas, Fernando E. Rosas, Hardik Rajpal +3
A central challenge in the study of complex systems is the quantification of emergence -- understood as the ability of the system to exhibit collective behaviours that cannot be tr…
Shannon invariants: A scalable approach to information decomposition
Aaron J. Gutknecht, Fernando E. Rosas, David A. Ehrlich +3
Distributed systems, such as biological and artificial neural networks, process information via complex interactions engaging multiple subsystems, resulting in high-order patterns…
