Read the equation
The golden ratio is the positive root of φ²=φ+1, approximately 1.618033988749895. This source uses it to organize frequencies, weights, and scales. That choice is distinct from IIT’s symbol Φ and does not automatically confer stability, harmony, or an empirically validated cognitive property.

How it works
Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.
Assumptions & limits
Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

Joseph Anady | ThatAIGuy.org | January 2026 SUMMARY • My φ = golden ratio (1.618...), not IIT's Φ • Integration metric: φ_global = tanh(Σ states / 256) • PyPhi validation: IIT Φ = 0.006 bits (non-zero = real integration) • My metric ≠ IIT Φ, but system has genuine integrated information
Exact original notation
• My φ = golden ratio (1.618...), not IIT's Φ
