  The paper considers a non-reductionist theory of consciousness, which is not
reducible to theories of reality and to physiological or psychological
theories. Following D.I.Dubrovsky's "informational approach" to the "Mind-Brain
Problem", we consider the reality through the prism of information about
observed phenomena, which, in turn, is perceived by subjective reality through
sensations, perceptions, feelings, etc., which, in turn, are information about
the corresponding brain processes. Within this framework the following
principle of the Information Theory of Consciousness (ITS) development is put
forward: the brain discovers all possible causal relations in the external
world and makes all possible inferences by them. The paper shows that ITS built
on this principle: (1) also base on the information laws of the structure of
external world; (2) explains the structure and functioning of the brain
functional systems and cellular ensembles; (3) ensures maximum accuracy of
predictions and the anticipation of reality; (4) resolves emerging
contradictions and (5) is an information theory of the brain's reflection of
reality.
