Mathematical synthesis framework unifying consciousness theories through phase transitions at brain criticality. Proposes consciousness emerges when C(t) = Φ(t) × R(t) × D(t) exceeds 8.3±0.6 bits. Integrates IIT, GNWT, FEP, and 40+ frameworks as special cases. Validated via Kuramoto simulations (qualitative agreement).
