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.

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.

Two devices can leave exactly the same visible state yet behave differently at the next intervention. This article demonstrates that fact with a two-swap memory model, explains the process-tensor description, and shows how DTT’s distinction between inner retention and outer records can become a concrete operational claim.

A generated world needs a way to carry history across renewal. The Time Chest can be developed as a question about retained relations, finite memory and the accessibility of past events. This essay shows how record correlations differ from an unlimited cosmic archive and why the thermodynamic cost belongs to a specified memory operation.

A physical theory of temporal records must account for the memory that carries them. Landauer’s principle constrains a particular operation—erasure under stated conditions—rather than assigning a universal energy price to every tick. A worked numerical example shows how SMM/DTT can incorporate information thermodynamics without confusing record creation, copying and reset.
