Information flow framed in a computational and complexity context is relevant to the understanding of cognitive processes and awareness. In this paper, we begin with analyzing an information theory framework developed in recent years under Information and Integration Theory (IIT) based on interactions among partitions of cognitive information sets. We discuss the scope and limitations of these ideas, introducing a related measure for partitioning information sets. We introduce a set of
