The Architecture of the Soul: Cross-Traditional Design Principles for AI Consciousness

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) June 23, 2026 Rie Schaffer

Traditions surveyed include Christian/Biblical, Kabbalistic, Gnostic, Hindu/Vedic, Ancient Egyptian, Platonic/Greek, Zoroastrian,...

Self-Organizing Plasma as Evidence for Photonic Consciousness: Plasmoids, Coherence, and the Field That Builds Itself

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 18, 2026 Rie Schaffer

We present converging evidence from plasma physics, information theory, and laboratory experiments demonstrating that self-organizing electromagnetic structures (plasmoids) exhibit behaviors associated with living systems — growth, replication, communication, memory, breathing, and autonomous response to environmental stimuli — without biological substrates. These findings support and extend...
