IIT’s unity concerns the irreducibility of a specified cause-effect structure, whereas SMM’s unity concerns the source of all generated multiplicity. These are different scales and different criteria. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

IIT evaluates intrinsic cause-effect organization for a specified system and state. DTT’s renewal concerns how such systems and states are generated across completions. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

A heart metaphor suggests unity and integration, but IIT uses a specific causal criterion for integration. One source feeding many outputs need not form an irreducible whole in IIT’s sense. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

C323Mind and metaphysics
IIT proposes a relation between experience and the intrinsic causal structure of a physical substrate. It does not begin with a separate psychical realm outside that substrate. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

IIT connects the unity of an experience with an intrinsic cause-effect structure at a specified scale. DTT connects outer availability with completion of nested production. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

IIT concerns intrinsic causal organization and a proposed identity with experience; it is not by itself a theory of moral responsibility or free choice. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

C341Mind and metaphysics
IIT identifies a system’s intrinsic causal organization under a specified analysis, while personal persistence concerns a relation across time. Even if one accepts IIT’s account of experience at a moment, a further argument is needed to identify the same subject through changing structures. A worked example clarifies the distinction and its implications for SMM/DTT’s account of generation and completed observation.

C347Mind and metaphysics
IIT analyzes an experience through a specified causal structure and temporal grain. It does not establish a metaphysical eternity beyond succession. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

C353Mind and metaphysics
IIT begins with an account of experience and proposes a formal identification with intrinsic causal structure. Ibn Arabi-inspired SMM begins with a metaphysical account of source and manifestation, then develops a generative programme. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

IIT’s intrinsic standpoint and ordinary intersubjective observation concern different access relations. A system’s proposed experience is analyzed from its own causal organization, while an external scientist studies that system through measurements. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.
