Read the equation
ComputePhi returns 1/(1+|x−1|), assigning one to x=1 and smaller positive values as x departs from that reference. The function measures scalar proximity to the selected target. The code’s consciousness interpretation is a project hypothesis, distinct from an IIT cause-effect or partition calculation.

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.
