# Mathematical Framework for Causal Emergence
## Information-Theoretic Foundations and Computational Algorithms
**Date**: December 4, 2025
**Purpose**: Rigorous mathematical definitions for implementing HCC in RuVector
---
## 1. Information Theory Foundations
### 1.1 Shannon Entropy
**Definition**: For discrete random variable X with probability mass function p(x):
```
H(X) = -Σ p(x) log₂ p(x)
```
**Units**: bits
**Interpretation**: Expected surprise or uncertainty about X
**Properties**:
- H(X) ≥ 0 (non-negative)
- H(X) = 0 iff X is deterministic
- H(X) ≤ log₂|𝒳| with equality iff uniform distribution
**Computational Formula** (avoiding log 0):
```
H(X) = -Σ [p(x) > 0] p(x) log₂ p(x)
```
### 1.2 Joint and Conditional Entropy
**Joint Entropy**:
```
H(X,Y) = -Σₓ Σᵧ p(x,y) log₂ p(x,y)
```
**Conditional Entropy**:
```
H(Y|X) = -Σₓ Σᵧ p(x,y) log₂ p(y|x)
= H(X,Y) - H(X)
```
**Interpretation**: Uncertainty in Y given knowledge of X
**Chain Rule**:
```
H(X,Y) = H(X) + H(Y|X) = H(Y) + H(X|Y)
```
### 1.3 Mutual Information
**Definition**:
```
I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)
= H(X) - H(X|Y)
= H(Y) - H(Y|X)
= Σₓ Σᵧ p(x,y) log₂ [p(x,y) / (p(x)p(y))]
```
**Interpretation**:
- Reduction in uncertainty about X from observing Y
- Shared information between X and Y
- KL divergence between joint and product of marginals
**Properties**:
- I(X;Y) = I(Y;X) (symmetric)
- I(X;Y) ≥ 0 (non-negative)
- I(X;Y) = 0 iff X ⊥ Y (independent)
- I(X;X) = H(X)
### 1.4 Conditional Mutual Information
**Definition**:
```
I(X;Y|Z) = H(X|Z) + H(Y|Z) - H(X,Y|Z)
= Σₓ Σᵧ Σz p(x,y,z) log₂ [p(x,y|z) / (p(x|z)p(y|z))]
```
**Interpretation**: Information X and Y share about each other, given Z
**Properties**:
- I(X;Y|Z) ≥ 0
- Can have I(X;Y|Z) > I(X;Y) (explaining away)
### 1.5 KL Divergence
**Definition**: For distributions P and Q over same space:
```
D_KL(P || Q) = Σₓ P(x) log₂ [P(x) / Q(x)]
```
**Interpretation**:
- "Distance" from Q to P (not symmetric!)
- Expected log-likelihood ratio
- Information lost when approximating P with Q
**Properties**:
- D_KL(P || Q) ≥ 0 (Gibbs' inequality)
- D_KL(P || Q) = 0 iff P = Q
- NOT a metric (no symmetry, no triangle inequality)
**Relation to MI**:
```
I(X;Y) = D_KL(P(X,Y) || P(X)P(Y))
```
---
## 2. Effective Information (EI)
### 2.1 Hoel's Definition
**Setup**:
- System with n states: S = {s₁, s₂, ..., sₙ}
- Transition probability matrix: T[i,j] = P(sⱼ(t+1) | sᵢ(t))
**Maximum Entropy Intervention**:
```
P(sᵢ(t)) = 1/n for all i (uniform distribution)
```
**Effective Information**:
```
EI = I(S(t); S(t+1)) under max-entropy S(t)
= H(S(t+1)) - H(S(t+1)|S(t))
= H(S(t+1)) - Σᵢ (1/n) H(S(t+1)|sᵢ(t))
```
**Expanded Form**:
```
EI = -Σⱼ p(sⱼ(t+1)) log₂ p(sⱼ(t+1)) + (1/n) Σᵢ Σⱼ T[i,j] log₂ T[i,j]
```
where `p(sⱼ(t+1)) = (1/n) Σᵢ T[i,j]` (marginal over uniform input)
### 2.2 Computational Algorithm
**Input**: Transition matrix T (n×n)
**Output**: Effective information (bits)
```python
def compute_ei(T: np.ndarray) -> float:
n = T.shape[0]
# Marginal output distribution under uniform input
p_out = np.mean(T, axis=0) # Average each column
# Output entropy
H_out = -np.sum(p_out * np.log2(p_out + 1e-10))
# Conditional entropy H(out|in)
H_cond = -(1/n) * np.sum(T * np.log2(T + 1e-10))
# Effective information
ei = H_out - H_cond
return ei
```
**SIMD Optimization** (Rust):
```rust
use std::simd::*;
fn compute_ei_simd(transition_matrix: &[f32]) -> f32 {
let n = (transition_matrix.len() as f32).sqrt() as usize;
// Compute column means (SIMD)
let mut p_out = vec![0.0f32; n];
for j in 0..n {
let mut sum = f32x16::splat(0.0);
for i in (0..n).step_by(16) {
let chunk = f32x16::from_slice(&transition_matrix[i*n+j..(i+16)*n+j]);
sum += chunk;
}
p_out[j] = sum.reduce_sum() / (n as f32);
}
// Compute entropies (SIMD)
let h_out = entropy_simd(&p_out);
let h_cond = conditional_entropy_simd(transition_matrix, n);
h_out - h_cond
}
```
### 2.3 Properties and Interpretation
**Range**: 0 ≤ EI ≤ log₂(n)
**Meaning**:
- EI = 0: No causal power (random output)
- EI = log₂(n): Maximal causal power (deterministic + invertible)
**Causal Emergence**:
```
System exhibits emergence iff EI(macro) > EI(micro)
```
---
## 3. Transfer Entropy (TE)
### 3.1 Schreiber's Definition
**Setup**: Two time series X and Y
**Transfer Entropy from X to Y**:
```
TE_{X→Y} = I(Y_{t+1}; X_{t}^{(k)} | Y_{t}^{(l)})
```
where:
- X_{t}^{(k)} = (X_t, X_{t-1}, ..., X_{t-k+1}): k-history of X
- Y_{t}^{(l)} = (Y_t, Y_{t-1}, ..., Y_{t-l+1}): l-history of Y
**Expanded**:
```
TE_{X→Y} = Σ p(y_{t+1}, x_t^k, y_t^l) log₂ [p(y_{t+1}|x_t^k, y_t^l) / p(y_{t+1}|y_t^l)]
```
**Interpretation**:
- Information X's past adds to predicting Y's future, beyond Y's own past
- Measures directed influence from X to Y
### 3.2 Relation to Granger Causality
**Theorem** (Barnett et al., 2009): For Gaussian vector autoregressive (VAR) processes:
```
TE_{X→Y} = -½ ln(1 - R²)
```
where R² is the coefficient of determination in regression of Y_{t+1} on X_t and Y_t.
**Implication**: TE generalizes Granger causality to non-linear, non-Gaussian systems.
### 3.3 Computational Algorithm
**Input**: Time series X and Y (length T), lags k and l
**Output**: Transfer entropy (bits)
```python
def transfer_entropy(X, Y, k=1, l=1):
T = len(X)
# Build lagged variables
X_lagged = np.array([X[i-k:i] for i in range(k, T)])
Y_lagged = np.array([Y[i-l:i] for i in range(l, T)])
Y_future = Y[k:]
# Estimate joint distributions (use binning or KDE)
p_joint = estimate_joint_distribution(Y_future, X_lagged, Y_lagged)
p_cond_xy = estimate_conditional(Y_future, X_lagged, Y_lagged)
p_cond_y = estimate_conditional(Y_future, Y_lagged)
# Compute TE
te = 0.0
for y_next, x_past, y_past in zip(Y_future, X_lagged, Y_lagged):
p_xyz = p_joint[(y_next, x_past, y_past)]
p_y_xy = p_cond_xy[(y_next, x_past, y_past)]
p_y_y = p_cond_y[(y_next, y_past)]
te += p_xyz * np.log2((p_y_xy + 1e-10) / (p_y_y + 1e-10))
return te
```
**Efficient Binning**:
```rust
fn transfer_entropy_binned(
x: &[f32],
y: &[f32],
k: usize,
l: usize,
bins: usize
) -> f32 {
// Discretize signals into bins
let x_binned = discretize(x, bins);
let y_binned = discretize(y, bins);
// Build histogram for p(y_next, x_past, y_past)
let mut counts = HashMap::new();
for t in (l.max(k))..(x.len()-1) {
let x_past: Vec<_> = x_binned[t-k..t].to_vec();
let y_past: Vec<_> = y_binned[t-l..t].to_vec();
let y_next = y_binned[t+1];
*counts.entry((y_next, x_past, y_past)).or_insert(0) += 1;
}
// Normalize and compute MI
compute_cmi_from_counts(&counts)
}
```
### 3.4 Upward and Downward Transfer Entropy
**Upward TE** (micro → macro):
```
TE↑(s) = TE_{σ_{s-1} → σ_s}
```
Measures emergence: how much micro-level informs macro-level beyond macro's own history.
**Downward TE** (macro → micro):
```
TE↓(s) = TE_{σ_s → σ_{s-1}}
```
Measures top-down causation: how much macro-level constrains micro-level beyond micro's own history.
**Circular Causation Condition**:
```
TE↑(s) > 0 AND TE↓(s) > 0
```
---
## 4. Integrated Information (Φ)
### 4.1 IIT 3.0 Definition
**Setup**: System with n elements, each with states {0,1}
**Partition**: Division of system into parts A and B (A ∪ B = full system)
**Cut**: Severing causal connections between A and B
**Earth Mover's Distance (EMD)**:
```
EMD(P, Q) = min_γ Σᵢⱼ γᵢⱼ dᵢⱼ
```
subject to:
- γᵢⱼ ≥ 0
- Σⱼ γᵢⱼ = P(i)
- Σᵢ γᵢⱼ = Q(j)
where dᵢⱼ is distance between states i and j.
**Integrated Information**:
```
Φ = min_{partition} EMD(P^full, P^cut)
```
**Interpretation**: Minimum information lost by any partition—quantifies irreducibility.
### 4.2 IIT 4.0 Update (2024)
**Change**: Uses **KL divergence** instead of EMD for computational tractability.
```
Φ = min_{partition} D_KL(P^full || P^cut)
```
**Computational Advantage**: KL is faster to compute and differentiable.
### 4.3 Approximate Φ Calculation
**Challenge**: Computing exact Φ requires checking all 2^n partitions.
**Solution 1: Greedy Search**
```python
def approximate_phi(transition_matrix):
n = transition_matrix.shape[0]
min_kl = float('inf')
# Try only bipartitions (not all partitions)
for size_A in range(1, n):
for subset_A in combinations(range(n), size_A):
subset_B = [i for i in range(n) if i not in subset_A]
# Compute KL divergence for this partition
kl = compute_kl_partition(transition_matrix, subset_A, subset_B)
min_kl = min(min_kl, kl)
return min_kl
```
**Complexity**: O(2^n) → O(n²) by limiting to bipartitions.
**Solution 2: Spectral Clustering**
```python
def approximate_phi_spectral(transition_matrix):
# Use spectral clustering to find best 2-partition
from sklearn.cluster import SpectralClustering
# Compute affinity matrix (causal connections)
affinity = np.abs(transition_matrix @ transition_matrix.T)
# Find 2-cluster partition
clustering = SpectralClustering(n_clusters=2, affinity='precomputed')
labels = clustering.fit_predict(affinity)
subset_A = np.where(labels == 0)[0]
subset_B = np.where(labels == 1)[0]
# Compute KL for this partition
return compute_kl_partition(transition_matrix, subset_A, subset_B)
```
**Complexity**: O(n³) for eigendecomposition, but finds good partition efficiently.
### 4.4 SIMD-Accelerated Φ
```rust
fn approximate_phi_simd(
transition_matrix: &[f32],
n: usize
) -> f32 {
// Use spectral method to find partition
let (subset_a, subset_b) = spectral_partition(transition_matrix, n);
// Compute P^full (full system distribution)
let p_full = compute_stationary_distribution_simd(transition_matrix, n);
// Compute P^cut (partitioned system distribution)
let p_cut = compute_cut_distribution_simd(
transition_matrix,
&subset_a,
&subset_b
);
// KL divergence (SIMD)
kl_divergence_simd(&p_full, &p_cut)
}
fn kl_divergence_simd(p: &[f32], q: &[f32]) -> f32 {
assert_eq!(p.len(), q.len());
let n = p.len();
let mut kl = f32x16::splat(0.0);
for i in (0..n).step_by(16) {
let p_chunk = f32x16::from_slice(&p[i..i+16]);
let q_chunk = f32x16::from_slice(&q[i..i+16]);
// KL += p * log(p/q)
let ratio = p_chunk / (q_chunk + f32x16::splat(1e-10));
let log_ratio = ratio.ln() / f32x16::splat(2.0_f32.ln()); // log2
kl += p_chunk * log_ratio;
}
kl.reduce_sum()
}
```

## 5. Hierarchical Coarse-Graining
### 5.1 k-way Aggregation
**Goal**: Reduce n states to n/k states by grouping.
**Methods**:
**1. Sequential Grouping**:
```
Groups: {s₁,...,sₖ}, {sₖ₊₁,...,s₂ₖ}, ...
```
**2. Clustering-Based**:
```python
def coarse_grain_kmeans(states, k):
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
# Cluster states based on transition similarity
kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=k)
labels = kmeans.fit_predict(states)
# Map each micro-state to its macro-state
return labels
```
**3. Information-Theoretic** (optimal for EI):
```python
def coarse_grain_optimal(transition_matrix, k):
# Minimize redundancy within groups, maximize between
best_partition = None
best_ei = -float('inf')
for partition in generate_partitions(n, k):
ei = compute_ei_coarse(transition_matrix, partition)
if ei > best_ei:
best_ei = ei
best_partition = partition
return best_partition
```
### 5.2 Transition Matrix Coarse-Graining
**Given**: Micro-level transition matrix T (n×n)
**Goal**: Macro-level transition matrix T' (m×m) where m < n
**Coarse-Graining Map**: φ : {1,...,n} → {1,...,m}
**Macro Transition Probability**:
```
T'[I,J] = P(macro_J(t+1) | macro_I(t))
= Σᵢ∈φ⁻¹(I) Σⱼ∈φ⁻¹(J) P(sᵢ(t) | macro_I(t)) T[i,j]
```
**Uniform Assumption** (simplest):
```
P(sᵢ(t) | macro_I(t)) = 1/|φ⁻¹(I)| for i ∈ φ⁻¹(I)
```
**Resulting Formula**:
```
T'[I,J] = (1/|φ⁻¹(I)|) Σᵢ∈φ⁻¹(I) Σⱼ∈φ⁻¹(J) T[i,j]
```
**Algorithm**:
```python
def coarse_grain_transition(T, partition):
"""
T: n×n transition matrix
partition: list of lists, e.g. [[0,1,2], [3,4], [5,6,7,8]]
returns: m×m coarse-grained transition matrix
"""
m = len(partition)
T_coarse = np.zeros((m, m))
for I in range(m):
for J in range(m):
group_I = partition[I]
group_J = partition[J]
# Average transitions from group I to group J
total = 0.0
for i in group_I:
for j in group_J:
total += T[i, j]
T_coarse[I, J] = total / len(group_I)
return T_coarse
```
### 5.3 Hierarchical Construction
**Input**: Micro-level data (n states)
**Output**: Hierarchy of scales (log_k n levels)
```rust
struct ScaleHierarchy {
levels: Vec<ScaleLevel>,
}
struct ScaleLevel {
num_states: usize,
transition_matrix: Vec<f32>,
partition: Vec<Vec<usize>>, // Which micro-states → this macro-state
}
impl ScaleHierarchy {
fn build(micro_data: &[f32], branching_factor: usize) -> Self {
let mut levels = vec![];
let mut current_transition = estimate_transition_matrix(micro_data);
let mut current_partition = (0..current_transition.len())
.map(|i| vec![i])
.collect();
levels.push(ScaleLevel {
num_states: current_transition.len(),
transition_matrix: current_transition.clone(),
partition: current_partition.clone(),
});
while current_transition.len() > branching_factor {
// Find optimal k-way partition
let new_partition = find_optimal_partition(
&current_transition,
branching_factor
);
// Coarse-grain
current_transition = coarse_grain_transition_matrix(
&current_transition,
&new_partition
);
// Update partition relative to original micro-states
current_partition = merge_partitions(&current_partition, &new_partition);
levels.push(ScaleLevel {
num_states: current_transition.len(),
transition_matrix: current_transition.clone(),
partition: current_partition.clone(),
});
}
ScaleHierarchy { levels }
}
}
```
---
## 6. Consciousness Metric (Ψ)
### 6.1 Combined Formula
**Per-Scale Metric**:
```
Ψ(s) = EI(s) · Φ(s) · √(TE↑(s) · TE↓(s))
```
**Components**:
- **EI(s)**: Causal power at scale s (emergence)
- **Φ(s)**: Integration at scale s (irreducibility)
- **TE↑(s)**: Upward information flow (bottom-up)
- **TE↓(s)**: Downward information flow (top-down)
**Geometric Mean** for TE: Ensures both directions required (if either is 0, product is 0).
**Alternative Formulations**:
**Additive** (for interpretability):
```
Ψ(s) = α·EI(s) + β·Φ(s) + γ·min(TE↑(s), TE↓(s))
```
**Harmonic Mean** (emphasizes balanced TE):
```
Ψ(s) = EI(s) · Φ(s) · (2·TE↑(s)·TE↓(s)) / (TE↑(s) + TE↓(s))
```
### 6.2 Normalization
**Problem**: EI, Φ, and TE have different ranges.
**Solution**: Z-score normalization
```
EI_norm = (EI - μ_EI) / σ_EI
Φ_norm = (Φ - μ_Φ) / σ_Φ
TE_norm = (TE - μ_TE) / σ_TE
```
**Ψ Normalized**:
```
Ψ_norm(s) = EI_norm(s) · Φ_norm(s) · √(TE↑_norm(s) · TE↓_norm(s))
```
**Threshold**:
```
Conscious iff Ψ_norm(s*) > θ (e.g., θ = 2 standard deviations)
```
### 6.3 Implementation
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct ConsciousnessMetrics {
pub ei: Vec<f32>,
pub phi: Vec<f32>,
pub te_up: Vec<f32>,
pub te_down: Vec<f32>,
pub psi: Vec<f32>,
pub optimal_scale: usize,
pub consciousness_score: f32,
}
impl ConsciousnessMetrics {
pub fn compute(hierarchy: &ScaleHierarchy, data: &[f32]) -> Self {
let num_scales = hierarchy.levels.len();
let mut ei = vec![0.0; num_scales];
let mut phi = vec![0.0; num_scales];
let mut te_up = vec![0.0; num_scales - 1];
let mut te_down = vec![0.0; num_scales - 1];
// Compute per-scale metrics (parallel)
ei.par_iter_mut()
.zip(&hierarchy.levels)
.for_each(|(ei_val, level)| {

}
// Compute Ψ

}

## 7. Complexity Analysis
### 7.1 Naive Approaches
| Operation | Naive Complexity | Problem |
|-----------|------------------|---------|
| EI | O(n²) | Transition matrix construction |
| Φ (exact) | O(2^n) | Check all partitions |
| TE | O(T·n²) | All pairwise histories |
| Multi-scale | O(S·n²) | S scales × per-scale cost |
**Total**: O(2^n) or O(S·n²·T) — **infeasible for large systems**
### 7.2 Hierarchical Optimization
**Key Insight**: Coarse-graining reduces states logarithmically.
**Scale Sizes**:
```
Level 0: n states
Level 1: n/k states
Level 2: n/k² states
...
Level log_k(n): 1 state
```
**Per-Level Cost**:
- EI: O(m²) for m states at that level
- Φ (approx): O(m²) for spectral method
- TE: O(T·m) for discretized estimation
**Total Across Levels**:
```
Σ_{i=0}^{log_k n} (n/k^i)² = n² Σ (1/k^{2i})
= n² · (1 / (1 - 1/k²)) (geometric series)
≈ O(n²)
```
**With SIMD Acceleration**: O(n²/W) where W = SIMD width (8-16)
**Effective Complexity**: O(n log n) amortized
### 7.3 SIMD Speedup
**Without SIMD**:
- Process 1 element per cycle
**With AVX-512** (16× f32):
- Process 16 elements per cycle
- Theoretical 16× speedup
**Practical Speedup** (accounting for memory bandwidth, overhead):
- Entropy: 8-12×
- MI: 6-10×
- Matrix operations: 10-14×
**Overall**: 8-12× faster with SIMD

## 8. Numerical Stability
### 8.1 Common Issues
**1. Log of Zero**:
```
log₂(0) = -∞
```
**Solution**: Add small epsilon
```python
H = -np.sum(p * np.log2(p + 1e-10))
```
**2. Division by Zero**:
```
MI = log₂(p(x,y) / (p(x)·p(y)))
```
**Solution**: Clip probabilities
```python
p_xy_safe = np.clip(p_xy, 1e-10, 1.0)
p_x_safe = np.clip(p_x, 1e-10, 1.0)
p_y_safe = np.clip(p_y, 1e-10, 1.0)
mi = np.log2(p_xy_safe / (p_x_safe * p_y_safe))
```
**3. Floating-Point Underflow**:
```
exp(-1000) = 0 (underflows)
```
**Solution**: Log-space arithmetic
```python
log_p = log_sum_exp([log_p1, log_p2, ...])
```
### 8.2 Robust Implementations
**Entropy**:
```rust
fn entropy_robust(probs: &[f32]) -> f32 {
probs.iter()
.filter(|&&p| p > 1e-10) // Skip near-zero
.map(|&p| -p * p.log2())
.sum()
}
```
**Mutual Information**:
```rust
fn mutual_information_robust(p_xy: &[f32], p_x: &[f32], p_y: &[f32]) -> f32 {
let mut mi = 0.0;
for i in 0..p_x.len() {
for j in 0..p_y.len() {
let idx = i * p_y.len() + j;
let joint = p_xy[idx].max(1e-10);
let marginal = (p_x[i] * p_y[j]).max(1e-10);
mi += joint * (joint / marginal).log2();
}
}
mi
}
```

## 9. Validation and Testing
### 9.1 Synthetic Test Cases
**Test 1: Deterministic System**
```
Transition: State i → State (i+1) mod n
Expected: EI = log₂(n), Φ ≈ log₂(n)
```
**Test 2: Random System**
```
Transition: Uniform random
Expected: EI = 0, Φ = 0
```
**Test 3: Modular System**
```
Two independent subsystems
Expected: Φ = 0 (reducible)
```
**Test 4: Hierarchical System**
```
Macro-level has higher EI than micro
Expected: Causal emergence detected
```
### 9.2 Neuroscience Datasets
**1. Anesthesia EEG**:
- Source: Cambridge anesthesia database
- Expected: Ψ drops during loss of consciousness
**2. Sleep Stages**:
- Source: Physionet sleep recordings
- Expected: Ψ highest in REM/wake, lowest in deep sleep

### 9.3 Unit Tests
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn test_ei_deterministic() {
let n = 16;
let mut t = vec![0.0; n * n];
// Cyclic transition
for i in 0..n {
t[i * n + ((i + 1) % n)] = 1.0;
}
let ei = compute_ei_simd(&t);
assert!((ei - (n as f32).log2()).abs() < 0.01);
}
#[test]
fn test_ei_random() {
let n = 16;
let mut t = vec![1.0 / n as f32; n * n];
let ei = compute_ei_simd(&t);
assert!(ei < 0.01); // Should be ~0
}
#[test]
fn test_phi_independent() {
// Two independent subsystems
let t = build_independent_system(8, 8);
let phi = approximate_phi_simd(&t, 16);
assert!(phi < 0.1); // Should be near-zero
}
}

## 10. Summary of Key Formulas
### Information Theory
```
Entropy: H(X) = -Σ p(x) log₂ p(x)
Mutual Info: I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)
Conditional MI: I(X;Y|Z) = H(X|Z) - H(X|Y,Z)
KL Divergence: D_KL(P||Q) = Σ P(x) log₂[P(x)/Q(x)]
```
### Causal Measures
```
Effective Info: EI = I(S(t); S(t+1)) under uniform S(t)
Transfer Entropy: TE_{X→Y} = I(Y_{t+1}; X_t^k | Y_t^l)
Integrated Info: Φ = min_{partition} D_KL(P^full || P^cut)
```
### HCC Metric
```
Consciousness: Ψ(s) = EI(s) · Φ(s) · √(TE↑(s) · TE↓(s))
Optimal Scale: s* = argmax_s Ψ(s)
Conscious iff: Ψ(s*) > θ
```
### Complexity
```
Naive: O(2^n) for Φ, O(n²) for EI/TE
Hierarchical: O(n log n) across all scales
SIMD: 8-16× speedup on modern CPUs
```
