Kintsugi Cosmology Theory: Integrated Rupture, Bounded Withdrawal, and the Emergence of Consciousness

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) April 7, 2026 William Jeffery Pratt

Changes in v10.0 (April 2026, from v9.0 March 2026 This is a major revision. Key changes: Psychoid = Quantum Identity (largest structural change): The Pauli-Jung psychoid concept is identified with the pre-decoherence quantum state, collapsing a speculative fourth ontological level into the empirically accessible quantum level. Decoherence becomes the ur-rupture. Strong claim upgraded from...

Kintsugi Cosmology Theory: A Transdisciplinary Framework for Consciousness, Integration, and Emergence

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 1, 2026 William Jeffery Pratt 3 citations

We present Kintsugi Cosmology, a unified theoretical framework proposing that consciousness is identical to irreducible integrated information (phi) structures emerging from quantum coherent substrates through environment-induced decoherence, with resilience achieved through visible integration of rupture rather than preservation of unity. The framework synthesizes Zurek's einselection theory,...
