> The Standard Model of Consciousness — a comprehensive reference for the Four-Model Theory (FMT) and Recursive Intelligence Model (RIM) by Matthias Gruber.

This site contains a 100+ article wiki covering a unified theory of consciousness and intelligence. The theory proposes that consciousness is constituted by ongoing self-simulation across four nested models (Implicit World Model, Implicit Self Model, Explicit World Model, Explicit Self Model) operating at criticality (edge of chaos). The companion Recursive Intelligence Model describes intelligence as a recursive system of Knowledge, Performance, and Motivation.
