Abstract:   This paper articulates the fundamental theory of consciousness used in the Independent Core Observer Model (ICOM) research program and the consciousness measures as applied to ICOM systems and their uses in context including defining of the basic assumptions for the ICOM Theory of Consciousness (ICOMTC) and associated related consciousness theories (CTM, IIT, GWT etc.) that the ICOMTC is built upon.  The paper defines the contextual experience of ICOM based systems in terms of given instances subjective experience as objectively measured and the qualitative measure of Qualia in ICOM based systems.
