The simplest mathematical model of consciousness

Adaptation of the Arrhenius relation to cognitive process explains how an order of magnitude difference in the rate of metabolic free energy metabolism for neural tissues translates into many orders of magnitude increase in the rate of assembling sets of cognitive submodules into the temporary, tunable, 'global workspace' coalitions of consciousness, much faster than such closely analogous processes as wound healing, immune response, and gene expression. The model strongly contradicts Tononi's 'panpsychic' integrated information treatment of consciousness.
