An earlier book by Rodrick Wallace entitled Consciousness: A
Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model,
introduced a formal information-theoretic approach to individual
consciousness implementing approaches developed previously by the
cognitive scientist Bernard Baars and the philosopher Fred Dretske.
This book takes a more formal 'groupoid' perspective and
generalizes the results of that book to processes of 'distributed
cognition' characteristic of large institutions that can entertain
several, sometimes many, simultaneous 'global workspaces' which
must compete for resources while communicating and cooperating.
Equivalence classes of 'states' produce a network of
language-analogs characterizing interacting cognitive modules which
entertain multiple workspaces. Equivalence classes of these
language-analogs produce dynamical manifolds describing temporal
processes carried out by multiple-workspace institutions.
