In-Silico Tests of the Four-Model Architecture: Self-Referential Closure, Self-Modelling and Criticality in Model Systems

The Four-Model Theory of Consciousness (FMT; Gruber, 2015, 2026e) specifies consciousness as ongoing self-simulation across two kinds of models — implicit (learned, substrate-level) and explicit (generated, phenomenal) — organized by scope (world vs. self) and mode (implicit vs. explicit), and it requires a substrate c...

The Four-Model Theory of Consciousness: A Simulation-Based Framework Unifying the Hard Problem, Binding, and Altered States

Consciousness, on the Four-Model Theory, is constituted by ongoing self-simulation: a system builds a model of itself, relates to that model, and interacts with it. Models divide along two axes — scope (world vs. self) and mode (implicit vs. explicit) — yielding four model kinds rather than four modules. The implicit m...
