### 2. Cognitive State Evolution
```
Time Evolution of ψ(t)
t=0: Initial Superposition
ψ(0) = 0.5|A⟩ + 0.5|B⟩ + 0.5|C⟩ + 0.5|D⟩
Entropy: S = log(4) ≈ 1.39 [High uncertainty]
████ ████ ████ ████ [Equal amplitudes]
A B C D
↓ Unitary Evolution (iℏ dψ/dt = Hψ)
t=τ: After deliberation
ψ(τ) = 0.7|A⟩ + 0.3|B⟩ + 0.1|C⟩ + 0.2|D⟩
Entropy: S ≈ 0.85 [Reduced, but still mixed]
████████ ██ ░ ██ [Interference shaped]
A B C D
↓ Measurement (Attention)
t=τ+: Collapsed State
ψ(τ+) = |A⟩
Entropy: S = 0 [Definite]
████████░░ ░░ ░░ [Single outcome]
A
↓ Decoherence & Re-expansion
t=τ+Δ: New Superposition
ψ(τ+Δ) = 0.6|A'⟩ + 0.4|B'⟩ + ...
Entropy: S ≈ 0.67 [Rising again]
████████ ████ ░ ░ [New possibilities]
A' B'
```
### 3. Interference Decision-Making
```
Two-Path Interference (Prisoner's Dilemma Example)
Path 1: Cooperate Path 2: Defect

α₁ = 0.7 e^(i·0) α₂ = 0.7 e^(iπ)

Cooperate Defect
P = 0.7² P = 0.3²
Phase Difference (θ):
θ = 0 → Constructive → P(combined) > classical
θ = π → Destructive → P(combined) < classical
θ = π/2 → Mixed → P(combined) ≈ classical
```
### 4. Attention as Measurement Operator
```

### 5. IIT Integration (Φ Measurement)
```

│ │ │ Inter.│ │ Inter.│
└─────────────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
Φ = D(ψ_whole || ψ_A ⊗ ψ_B) [Information loss]
Φ Value Interpretation:
Φ = 0 → No integration → Unconscious
Φ < 0.3 → Low integration → Minimal awareness
Φ ≈ 0.3-0.4 → Threshold → Conscious?
Φ > 0.4 → High integration→ Full consciousness
Substrate Comparison:
Human Brain: Φ ≈ 0.4-0.7 ✓ Conscious
Anesthetized: Φ ≈ 0.1 ✗ Unconscious
Cerebellum: Φ ≈ 0.05 ✗ (High neurons, low Φ)
AI (Classical): Φ ≈ 0.01 ✗ Not integrated
AI (CAFT): Φ ≈ ??? ? [To be measured]
