Figure 4.

Differences in Φ_R and Φ_R-ing ratio. Four conscious beings are schematically depicted as icebergs, with their total size representing their total information (TDMI), the part above water (light blue) representing the combination of atoms that compose Φ_R and the part below water being the information that does not contribute the Φ_R (and hence to consciousness). Different beings can have the same Φ_R despite different total information (A and B), or same total information but different Φ_R and Φ_R-ing ratio (B and C), or different total information and different Φ_R but same Φ_R-ing ratio (B and D). Only considering Φ_R would ignore the difference between A and B, as well as the similarity between B and D.
