Abstract We discuss the potential of applying category theory to study consciousness. first review a recent proposal from neurosciences consciousness illustrate “correlational project”, using integrated information as an example. then some technical preliminaries related categories and in particular notion functor, which carries bulk conceptual weight many current discussions. look at possible payoffs this project—getting grips with hard problem, integration, exploiting explanatory dualities—and avenues for further research, stressing need better develop categorical representation consciousness, its phenomenological structure. A understanding cannot be achieved by merely studying physical brain. By contrast, treatment even suggests application beyond domain neuroscience, example computer science artificial intelligence while also emphasizing primacy (phenomenal) experience.

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze students' computational thinking abilities in solving combinatorial problems based on high, medium, and low ability categories. Methodology: uses a descriptive qualitative approach with subjects 33 students class VIII I State Islamic Junior High School 2 Bondowoso. Data were collected through written tests, semi-structured interviews, documentation. analysis used Miles Huberman model (reduction, presentation, conclusion) triangulation techniques for validation, comparing test results, Main Findings: Students high medium are able meet all indicators thinking, including identifying understanding problems, converting them into combinatorics. Meanwhile, have difficulty re-understanding found. Novelty/Originality this provides new insights how level influences their success as well offers perspectives developing more effective learning strategies enhance ability.
