Experience Spaces

Experience spaces are mathematical spaces which represent conscious experience. Every element of an experience space corresponds to a state of consciousness which describes the totality of impressions, feelings, etc. that make up conscious experience. The mathematical structure of experience spaces represents the structure of conscious experience. Sometimes, experience spaces only describe certain aspects of conscious experience, such as visual or auditory experiences.

Which structural features of consciousness could be modelled?

• Similarity, e.g. using a metric
• Intensity of experience (the level of consciousness, so to speak, as in IIT)
• The compositional structure of conscious experience, including:
• Inclusion: Whether aspects of experiences are included in other aspects
• Composition: Whether an aspect of experience is composed of other aspects (the whole is equal to the sum, so to speak)
• Precision
