According to information integration theory (IIT), consciousness corresponds to the system's ability to integrate information or synthesize mental images. However, such a definition of a system cannot be considered definitive, as it opens up the possibility of classifying any organic or artificial system that shows signs of information interconnection as conscious. The problem with such a system is however much more serious. As the closure of such a system to the environment prevents it from communicating with the rest of the subjects. The conscious self-subject is the only one who is undoubtedly able to experience reality. It is clear even to a child that different subjects have the ability to share their experiences of reality. Information Theory of C.E. Shannon has a different approach to information and presents the view that information is shared between different entities. However, his theory lacks the necessary semantic meaning of information, which he deliberately ignores. We will build a new theory of thinking so that it is a unification of the two. In this way, it will be possible to declare the validity of both theories at the same time and they will not contradict each other, because both are only partial statements of a unified information pattern consisting of - reality - consciousness - the universe.
