Version 6.0 of CERTS Theory presents a major architectural revision of the framework, building on the comprehensive synthesis of v4.0 (April 2026) and the foundational deposits (March–April 2026). CERTS proposes a complete physical mechanism for two features of conscious experience that are tractable at the physical level: the unified binding of spatially distributed neural signals into a...
Version 4.0 of CERTS Theory presents the comprehensive scientific synthesis of the framework, building substantially on v1 (initial deposit, March 2026) and v2 (extended with experimental protocols, March-April 2026). CERTS proposes a complete physical mechanism for two features of conscious experience that are tractable at the physical level: the unified binding of spatially distributed neural...
This paper presents the complete formulation of CERTS theory (Conscious Electromagnetic Resonant Transactional Scanning) — a theoretical synthesis offering a concrete physical mechanism for the emergence of subjective experience. The starting point is a foundational principle of electromagnetism: every electrical process necessarily involves an electromagnetic (EM) field. In the nervous system,...
