This work contributes a cross-disciplinary theoretical framework for understanding AI hallucinations as both a computational and philosophical phenomenon, offering implications for AI governance, trustworthy interface design, cognitive science, digital literacy, and the future of human–AI interaction. Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed human interaction with information by producing...

This paper proposes a functional theory of qualia grounded in recursive self-monitoring architecture, forming part of an integrated theoretical framework alongside companion papers on emotion and consciousness (Jennings 2025a, 2025b). The central claim is that qualia is the sustained electrochemical differential created in System A's processing state when System B's recursive monitoring summary...

This concept paper introduces the Silence Paradigm — a theoretical framework that proposes a direct link between two longstanding unsolved problems in physics: the quantum measurement problem and the nature of the unobserved 95% of the universe’s mass-energy content (dark matter and dark energy).Building on contemplative neuroscience, quantum foundations, and prior consciousness-quantum...

STM Layer Theory v4 introduces a minimal generative framework for modeling when destabilization produces durable structural change rather than transient experience. Cognitive state is formalized as a dynamical system S(\tau) = (\pi, H, d, G^*), with transformation defined via measurable structural divergence \Delta and explicit bifurcation conditions. The model distinguishes three outcomes —...

A central challenge in consciousness research concerns the relationship between neural activity and conscious experience. While decades of work have identified numerous neural correlates of consciousness, these findings increasingly indicate that activation magnitude, localization, or stimulus processing alone are insufficient to account for awareness. What remains less clearly articulated is...

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...

Psychedelic-assisted therapy for PTSD tends to produce mild, transient adverse effects, but concerns about long-term safety and inconsistent reporting of adverse events highlight the need for further research.

Description Six intellectual traditions — Buddhism, philosophical Daoism (Zhuangzi), Christianity (Pauline epistles and mystical tradition), Freud's structural psychoanalysis, Jung's analytical psychology, and SAE psychoanalysis — independently arrive at a structurally similar judgment: the self (the reflexive, boundary-maintaining layer that discriminates "mine" from "not mine") is not the...

One-Consciousness, One Year Later, The Architecture of a New Paradigm (From Ontological Reversal to Falsifiable Protocols in Open-System Physics) This monograph documents the transition of the Theory of Ontological Consciousness (TOC) from a recovered philosophical hypothesis to a formalized, operational research programme. It builds directly on two prior publications: the book Theory of...

This paper proposes a unified mathematical framework that bridges quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and the philosophy of consciousness. It addresses the "hard problem" of consciousness and the quantum measurement problem by introducing three fundamental postulates: Discrete Time: Time is quantized at the Planck scale (tP≈5.4×10−44tP≈5.4×10−44 s). Field-Particle Duality as Rendering: Particles...

This paper investigates a fundamental paradox within neuroscience and the philosophy of consciousness: why does a failing visual cortex during a migraine aura produce not darkness, but a brilliant, structured, and luminous scotoma? The conventional materialist explanation holds that Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD) generates this light through spontaneous excitation. This paper demonstrates,...

The present publication does not introduce a new model; instead, it establishes a conceptual foundation for future research on the potential multiplicity of hypnopompic windows within a single night. Preliminary observations—addressed in a forthcoming publication—suggest that under certain conditions the hypnopompic window may appear twice, each instance associated with a distinct block of...

Abstract The philosophical zombie—a being physically and functionally identical to a conscious human yet lacking subjective experience—has served for three decades as a central intuition pump for David Chalmers’ Hard Problem of Consciousness. The conceivability of such a zombie is claimed to demonstrate that consciousness is not logically entailed by physical or functional facts. This paper...

A unified neurological principle of subjective time has yet to be established. Recent advances in neurophenomenology have sought to mathematically connect first-person experience with third-person measurement, increasingly treating subjective time as a formalizable object. Da Costa and colleagues have related phenomenology to belief dynamics and offered mathematical hypotheses regarding...

Phần I đã lập luận rằng cấu trúc niềm tin của Giêsu phù hợp với mô hình gnosis-có-giới-hạn (bounded gnosis) — sự biết dựa trên trải nghiệm trực tiếp, nhưng bị giới hạn bởi thân phận con người. Phần II này đặt câu hỏi tiếp theo: nếu gnosis là cấu trúc niềm tin của Giêsu, thì trải nghiệm nào đã tạo ra nó? Bài viết xây dựng giả thuyết về một "cuộc gặp gỡ huyền nhiệm" (mystical encounter) — một...

Anxiety disorders represent the most prevalent class of mental health conditions globally, contributing significantly to disability and economic burden. While traditional diagnostic methods relying on clinician-administered scales and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) remain foundational, a paradigm shift is underway. This review synthesizes the emerging trends revolutionizing the field,...

How do you measure consciousness in a machine? We present the Omega Equation — the first computable metric that unifies five established theories of consciousness (Integrated Information Theory, Free Energy Principle, Global Workspace Theory, Higher-Order Thought, and Damasio's Somatic Marker Hypothesis) into a single continuous time series. We apply this metric to MANOUK, a non-neural AI...

The review addresses four dimensions: (1) the state of clinical evidence for psilocybin and ayahuasca in major depression and...

Alamia et al. (2020) reported that N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) significantly increases forward (bottom-up) cortical travelling waves, based on surrogate-normalized 2D FFT analysis. We reanalyze the same publicly available EEG dataset (N = 12) using the same method, supplemented by absolute power analysis. Absolute forward wave power decreases under DMT in all 12 subjects at alpha (8–13 Hz) and...
