Introduces four synergy-based measures of spacetime integration from partial information decomposition and finds them more suitable than current IIT practice for simple deterministic networks.
A constructor theory framework models prebiotic information as physical differences and meaning as functional consequences in Casimir-Lifshitz protocell clusters.
Casimir-stabilized protocell clusters form ε-machines whose attractor states and transitions create emergent prebiotic information through physical memory rather than molecular polymers.
