Abstract Recent advances in mathematical physics reveal that statistical mechanics, quantum decoherence and quantum measurement share an identical mathematical structure: a filtering mapping acting on the system’s degrees of freedom. The filtered information becomes irrecoverable, giving rise to the arrow of time and irreversibility within the reduced description. This paper argues that such...

Abstract Contemporary artificial intelligence has achieved outstanding performance in perception, reasoning, content generation, and pattern learning. Nevertheless, current silicon-based intelligence cannot generate genuine first-person subjective experience, which remains a core bottleneck for general artificial intelligence and consciousness research. Established mainstream consciousness...

Abstract (English) Consciousness research remains trapped in the philosophical "hard problem," lacking standardized, reproducible quantitative experimental pipelines. This research manifesto constructs a fully operational theoretical framework that decomposes the stream of consciousness into discrete, labelable, statistically tractable minimal units termed thought-moments. Drawing on Shannon...

Abstract This article systematically constructs an Eastern introverted empirical paradigm rooted in Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist traditions, in contrast to the dominant Western extroverted empirical model. While the latter relies on external observation, experimentation and quantitative analysis as standard scientific norms, the Eastern cognitive path centering on self-reflection, mental...

Purpose: This paper presents a purely logic-deductive conceptual framework—not an empirical study—aimed at providing an axiomatic cognitive architecture for understanding the discrete, frame-by-frame phenomenology of near-death experience (NDE) life reviews. Core Argument: Starting from three irreducible axioms (the von Neumann measurement chain terminates in conscious discrimination; conscious...

The proposition of "inexpressible, inexpressible" in Buddhist scriptures has long been misinterpreted by the public and some researchers as irrational mysticism, or dismissed as an evasive rhetorical device to avoid in-depth exploration of doctrinal implications. Taking the boundary of language as the core entry point, this paper attempts to construct an interdisciplinary theoretical framework...
