Ken Wilber described a form of organization called the holon. Which states that everything is part of something bigger or smaller. For example a human tissue makes up the body and organs, but tissue is made up of cells. He believes that these holons are the basis of existence. He split up the theories of existence into 4 major categories: intentional, behavioral, cultural and social, each made up of holons that are accessed by a different type of truth, objective truth, subjective truthfulness, intersubjective justness, and inter-objective functional fit. Even though these holons are all put into their own categories they all correlate to each other, in a circular motion; one holon needs the truth or validity claim of the others for itself to work.
Everything is interconnected. The several theories of consciousness discussed in this article should all be studied to the fullest extent because we could never know the truth without exhausting all other possibilities. But as well, the truth of consciousness might not be one singular theory but a conglomeration of all the theories, regardless of how "odd" we would believe the theories to be, because many times "science is queer".
