The ΔΓ-Metamnesis Framework: A Thermodynamic Theory of Consciousness Based on Memory Acceleration Dynamics How Dual Binding Resolves the Hard Problem and Binding Problem
Phenomenal consciousness is proposed to arise when the second-order dynamics of memory change (ΔΓ = d²M/dt²) exceed system constraints. Building on recent evidence that consciousness functions as a delayed memory system (Budson et al., 2022), this framework demonstrates that ΔΓ dynamics provide the computational substrate for both temporal binding (via covariance: Φ(t) = Cov(ΔΓ₁, ΔΓ₂, ...)) and...
