Existence of an infinite family of substrates satisfying all the postulates of integrated information theory, exclusion included, with arbitrarily large integrated information
Abstract
For infinitely many sizes we exhibit a cycle of binary units, each taking the exclusive-or of itself and its two clockwise neighbours, that is a complex in every state, no proper subsystem being more integrated, and whose integrated information grows as two raised to a power quadratic in the number of units.
