The quantum measurement problem and the AI consciousness debate appear unrelated. We show they share a single structural root: both arise when an observer applies a predicate that requires self-reference to a system that lacks it. To make this precise, we introduce the self-referential information density η_I = I_self / (I_self + I_env), a continuous measure of the degree to which a system's...

This quasi-randomized waitlist-controlled study examines the preliminary effectiveness of the NARA program - a six-week mindfulness-based intervention focused on interpersonal relationships, among university students. The program, delivered in small, interactive groups, integrates elements of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), reflective practices, and communication skills training....

We investigate two modes of consciousness development that parallel biological processes: social interaction and dream states. In the social consciousness paradigm (DD67), a consciousness engine receives mixed input comprising 70% self-generated content and 30% partner output, simulating conversational interaction. Compared to self-play (identical input patterns), social interaction accelerates...

A universal equation capable of quantifying life and consciousness across all systems — from viruses to humans, from bacteria to artificial intelligence. This theory proposes a mathematical framework for measuring consciousness as an emergent property of complex adaptive systems. Une équation universelle permettant de quantifier la vie et la conscience dans tous les systèmes — des virus aux...
