The interface theory of consciousness is directly related to the concept of consciousness as it defines the theory's core subject matter, describing consciousness as an inseparable part of innovation assimilation [1], a byproduct of neocortical innovation mechanisms [2], and a cognitive influence that expanded alongside innovation activity [3]. Furthermore, the theory distinguishes itself from other phenomenological perspectives by specifically addressing the unique serial functioning and non-regulatory nature of consciousness [4].

The evolution of human-type consciousness – a by-product of ... frontiersin.org 4 facts
claimAccording to the interface hypothesis of consciousness, humans can only directly experience the stage of innovation assimilation where consciousness is present, because consciousness is an inseparable part of that stage.
claimThe interface hypothesis of consciousness differs from other phenomenological theories by not viewing consciousness primarily as a tool for regulation and control, while uniquely addressing the limited serial functioning of consciousness.
claimThe interface hypothesis of consciousness suggests that human-type consciousness became powerful enough to expand its influence over cognitive processes such as perception, motion, emotion, memory, and decision-making following the growth and strengthening of innovation activity.
claimThe interface hypothesis of consciousness proposes that human consciousness emerged as a byproduct of an advanced mammalian innovation-generating mechanism based on the unpredictable, chaotic, and exploratory functioning of the neocortex.
