“…The current theoretical landscape is quite diverse (Seth & Bayne, 2022;Signorelli, Szczotka, & Prentner, 2021) with leading models being, besides the integrated information theory of consciousness which was already mentioned, the global neural workspace theory (Baars, 1988;Dehaene & Naccache, 2001;Mashour, Roelfsema, Changeux, & Dehaene, 2020), Orch-OR (Hameroff, 2022;Hameroff & Penrose, 2014), higher-order thought theory (Brown, Lau, & LeDoux, 2019;Rosenthal, 2005), or the theory of recurrent processing (Fahrenfort, Leeuwen, Olivers, & Hogendoorn, 2017;Lamme, 2010). Moreover, there exist many more theories and approaches, often with quite different aims and scopes (Signorelli, Szczotka, & Prentner, 2021) that are perhaps best be considered to elucidate -as (pre-theoretical) models -different aspects of a single phenomenon (Singhal & Srinivasan, 2024).…”

In this contribution, we emphasize the relevance of mathematical approaches to the first-person perspective. We briefly discuss why this is necessary and why mathematics plays a special role when it comes to integrating scientific (empirical) and philosophical (theoretical) projects. We also sketch some potential ways that mathematics could be used in phenomenology, based on a selection of four ``phenomenological primitives'' that characterize constitution: intentionality, minimal subjectivity, lifeworld, and time consciousness. We also spell out a minimal topological toymodel and refer to some contemporary approaches using modern mathematics (e.g. category theory). We then discuss how this could be usefully applied to the (neuro)scientific study of consciousness and throughout stress the need to highlight (and formalize) phenomenology's transcendental character.
