Toward a Field-Based Framework of Awareness: Quantum Trilogy Theory of Consciousness

Journal of Modern Classical Physics & Quantum Neuroscience July 1, 2025 Ashkan Farhadi

This paper introduces the Quantum Trilogy Theory of Consciousness (QTTC), a conceptual framework that integrates structural principles from quantum field theory (QFT) with the Trilogy Theory of Consciousness (TTC). QTTC proposes that consciousness arises not from computation or neural complexity alone, but from structured modulations within a universal awareness field. In this framework,...

The Evolution of Consciousness Theories

Ashkan Farhadi

Consciousness is usually perceived as a state of being aware of one’s environment as well as self. Despite its omnipresence in our life, understanding this concept is challenging. This has given rise to several theories attempting to explain the nature of consciousness, as well as hard and soft problems of consciousness. In fact, the boundaries of consciousness defined by these theories are a...

Can AI Ever Become Conscious? Can AI Ever Become Conscious?

Ashkan Farhadi preprint

Almost 70 years ago, Alan Turing predicted that within half a century, computers would possess processing capabilities sufficient to fool interrogators into believing they were communicating with a human. While his prediction materialized slightly later than anticipated, he also foresaw a critical limitation: machines might never become the subject of their own thoughts, suggesting that...
