This paper establishes a unified, mathematically rigorous framework that bridges computational psychiatry, theoretical biophysics, and contemplative neuroscience. It formalizes the interactions between cortical sensory perception Ip(t), physical signal propagation latency tau_d, the vegetative drives of the biological will Rw(t), and the minimization of variational free energy F(t). Grounded in...
