Abstract Public discussions about whether artificial intelligence possesses emotions, subjective experience, or even consciousness often rely on linguistic output, behavioral performance, and observers’ judgments. An AI system’s ability to describe its own state is not, by itself, sufficient to demonstrate subjective experience. At the same time, the fact that an AI system is non-biological...

A pilot coding instrument for turning free text first person reports of experience into structured, comparable data. The manual defines five dimensions, each with definitions, boundary cases and worked examples: vividness, world anchoring (internally generated versus externally anchored), agency, reality status at the time, and interpretive load (how much of a report asserts meaning or...

This study builds upon previous experiments testing the Consciousness Causes Collapse (CCC) hypothesis. Previous studies by the author investigated the CCC using subliminal priming. This current experiment simplifies the paradigm by removing primes entirely and focusing directly on the temporal duration of wavefunction collapse. We hypothesize that consciousness is discrete and operates in...

This essay explores a naturalistic "middle way" between the traditional approaches to the existence of the soul—believing versus non-believing—and focuses on the related, ultimate question: what happens when we die? It navigates between the metaphysical assumptions of Cartesian dualism and the reductionism of strict scientism, utilizing the framework of Contextual Behavioral Science and Steven...
