Consciousness and space are linked through theoretical frameworks that posit consciousness as a fundamental element from which space arises {fact:1, fact:2, fact:11}, or as a property that requires a revised understanding of space to be fully accommodated within the natural order {fact:5, fact:6, fact:15}. Furthermore, scholars like Chalmers and Merleau-Ponty explore the relationship by comparing consciousness to space as a fundamental law {fact:3, fact:12} or by defining space as a perceptual construct within consciousness [1].

Moving Forward on the Problem of Consciousness - David Chalmers consc.net 5 facts
perspectiveDavid Chalmers argues that Colin McGinn's approach to consciousness requires revising or supplementing theories of space to accommodate consciousness while maintaining external predictions.
claimDavid Chalmers notes that the proposal by Hut and Shepard for a property 'X' is similar to Colin McGinn's suggestion of a 'hidden dimension' of space that enables the existence of consciousness.
claimMcGinn suggests that accommodating consciousness within the natural order will require a radically revised theory of space.
perspectiveDavid Chalmers questions whether a revised theory of space, as suggested by McGinn to accommodate consciousness, would be forced upon us by empirical evidence or if it would be adopted solely to accommodate consciousness.
referenceC. McGinn authored the paper 'Consciousness and space,' which was published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies, Volume 2, pages 220-230, in 1995.

perspectiveThe author posits that if space emerges from light, consciousness has been mistakenly conceived as existing within space, and the physical universe may actually be the structure of consciousness itself.
referenceMaurice Merleau-Ponty (1962) posited that space is not a neutral stage for physical events, but rather a perceptual construct within consciousness, analogous to the qualia of redness.
referenceGraziano and Cooke (2006) suggest that if space is used as a stage for the physical precursors of consciousness, then space itself must be elucidated within a third-person explanatory framework.
claimTononi (2004) established Integrated Information Theory as a leading framework that explicitly incorporates space into its model of consciousness.

quoteMaria Strømme stated regarding her theory: "Yes, you could say so. But above all, it is a theory in which consciousness comes first, and structures such as time, space and matter arise afterwards. It is a very ambitious attempt to describe how our experienced reality functions."
claimMaria Strømme, a Professor of Materials Science at Uppsala University, proposes a theoretical model in AIP Advances where consciousness is the fundamental element of reality, from which time, space, and matter arise.
