A force-directed graph with alignment connections. Colors represent the categories to which the consciousness theories belong. The sizes of the shapes represent scholarly interest, the number of Google Scholar hits. The number of edges of a shape represents the theory’s complexity.

In this connected scatter version, x-axis positions represent order of magnitude (e.g., quantum level, cellular level, neuronal level, neural networks, whole brain, whole body, extended mind, universe); and y-axis positions represent level on a materialism-idealism scale.

A similar connected scatter plot that focuses on theories in the Materialism category, showing their subcategory, order of magnitude, degree brain matters, scholarly/scientific interest, complexity, and connections among them.

Another scatter plot comparing the rankings of theories of consciousness in Google search hits vs Google Scholar search hits, as a rough indicator of discrepancies between public and scholarly/scientific interest.
