Beyond Integration: Neural Dimensionality and the Landau–Ginzburg Physics of Awareness

2026-04-24

Abstract excerpt

Two-dimensional accounts of consciousness that distinguish global integration from functional diversity are empirically supported [1,2] but lack a formal phase-structure: they do not specify the nature of the transition between the two regimes, the order parameter that governs it, or the quantitative predictions that follow. We provide this structure. We propose that the dimensionality of the neural correlation st...
