In service to the mathematical underpinnings of the Information Integration Theory of Consciousness (IIT), we introduce four measures of integration based on the partial information decomposition framework. We compare our measures to current IIT practice in simple deterministic networks. We find synergy-based measures more suitable for IIT's use-case than current practice. Outside IIT, these measures could also be useful as measures of complexity for discrete dynamical systems.
