Hi Antonio...although I am lost on your brilliant mathematical equations which I am constantly examining I do want to comment on your thread here. Can we measure consiousness by time??? Is not time essentially related to all the developmental stages we pass through from birth to death? In those time frames which begin with being visionary, then pass to the development of a beginning structure of internal security, then to the beginnings of thought, then to self-reflective abilities and so on and on...is this not all happening in fragments of developmental stages over time?? I think time is involved simply because we cannot say with any assuredness that an infant is in a conscious state or has the conscious ability to say be self-reflective which comes much later through the passage of time and later stages of development. I could be far off base from what you are trying to figure out in this thread but took this direction because I saw your question as pondering a connect between time/emerging consciousness and measureing consciousness...
