We propose a three-phase experimental protocol testing whether the radical pair mechanism (RPM) operates during N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT)-induced psychedelicstates at the 5-HT2A receptor. Position-specific isotopic substitution of the ligand (13C at C3a, 15N on indole nitrogen) modifies nuclear spin content without altering molecular geometry, receptor affinity, or metabolic...
This record contains the full replication package for "Default Mode Network Geometry Emerges in Language Model Residual Streams From Next-Token Prediction on Agentive Text: A Universal Topological Signature Across 10 Architectures" (Alieksieienko, 2026). We report that the geometric topology of epistemic representations in transformer language model residual streams mirrors the functional...
We introduce the concept of the "Networked Human," whose cognitive processes (memory, attention, planning, decision-making) are distributed between the biological brain and its connected artificial structures, and whose identity is realized through structural synchronization among these layers. We then move from identity to action via "Networked Action" and a model of Layered Responsibility,...
Contemplative traditions often celebrate experiences of “pure” or non-dual awareness as insights into an ultimate reality beyond conceptual grasp. This paper offers a grounded alternative: such Bare Awareness or minimal-dual experiences are best understood not as ineffable metaphysical revelations, but as contingent phenomena constrained by procedural access (skills and practices) and...
The problem of other minds remains one of the central and most persistent challenges in philosophy of mind, raising the question of how we can reasonably justify the belief that other human beings, apart from ourselves, possess conscious experiences. Traditional explanations, such as analogical reasoning and behaviourist approaches, have attempted to answer this challenge, yet none has fully...
This study presents a longitudinal, single-subject case analysis of psychological and somatic transformation over a four-year period, focusing on the mechanisms underlying the reduction of chronic anxiety and the development of functional stability. A central finding of the study is that processes commonly described as “self-acceptance” do not emerge as a result of direct cognitive intention or...
This paper presents the leading neuroscientific model in which consciousness is understood as an emergent property of complex neural activity rather than a separate non-physical substance or soul. Evidence from brain imaging, neurological disorders, anesthesia, split-brain studies, and neural stimulation demonstrates that conscious experience directly depends on brain structure and function. No...
This paper proposes an embodied multi-agent experimental framework based on the MuJoCo physics engine to investigate whether LLM-driven agents can exhibit complex social behavior and consciousness-like emergent behavior under survival pressure. The system embeds LLMs into a closed arena where agents are given physical bodies, finite energy, differentiated personalities, asymmetric resources,...
This paper proposes a conceptual distinction between two possible geneses of cognition. The first is the familiar biological path described by autopoietic and enactivist traditions: life, perception, language, and then reflective thought. The second is a hypothetical machine-native path in which higher-order organization emerges above language without first reproducing the full biological...
This study aims to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of the "awakening" state, defined as a shift in consciousness from Default Mode Network dominance to second-order observation. Based on neurophenomenological theory, we hypothesize that awakening manifests physiologically as DMN inhibition, increased cortical excitability, and high energy efficiency. Clinical EEG data from a subject...
AbstractWe present CORTEX, a biologically-inspired neural platform implementing two mechanisms derived from neuroscience that have not previously been demonstrated in artificial systems: (1) a Default Mode Network (DMN) that consolidates learned patterns through unsupervised internal replay during idle periods, and (2) a neurochemical adaptive router that reduces Large Language Model...
Background: Generation Z, or the age group born between 1997 and 2012, has grown up in an environment that has seen the rise of social unrest and the prevalence of academic and digital connectivity. This has led to concerns about stress, anxiety, loneliness, and emotional instability in students. The holistic tradition of Ayurveda has also discussed the role of spirituality in the context of...
Abstract Current psychiatric assessment relies on symptom checklists, self-report, and single-timepoint neuroimaging—none of which answer the critical question: has a therapeutic intervention produced sustainable structural change, or merely temporary perturbation? This paper presents a theoretical framework derived from Coherence-Decoherence-Recovery (CDR) basin dynamics, regulatory capacity...
Predictive approaches to brain function treat perception as hierarchical inference, in which the system continuously minimizes variational free energy by comparing sensory input with internal predictions. This article proposes an integrative hypothesis according to which consciousness functions as a capacity-limited channel that selectively broadcasts only a small subset of precision-weighted...
Within the predictive processing framework, most theories of consciousness address either the architecture of conscious access, the representational structure, the information-theoretic measure, or the computational principle. What remains underexplored is the temporal dynamic of consciousness: why it emerges under novelty, recedes under familiarity, and re-emerges under disruption. This paper...
This paper develops the final movement of a seven-paper philosophical inquiry into the disclosure of being and the world. Where the preceding papers examined the five domains—persons, things and artifacts, nature, the self, and the encompassing whole—as distinct yet related structures of disclosure, the present paper asks how they operate together in lived experience and what happens when their...
This paper develops the first domain-specific study in a five-paper inquiry into the disclosure of being and the world. It argues that persons are disclosed primarily through recognition — a mode of access irreducible to observation, use, or inquiry that carries constitutive ethical weight. The paper unfolds a threefold movement from appearance (the person as image), through potential (the...
Sleep paralysis is a temporary condition in which a person is unable to move or speak while waking up or falling asleep. Although it has a clear scientific explanation related to REM sleep and brain-body coordination, many people still associate it with supernatural beliefs.This study aims to analyze the experiences of individuals and understand how fear, lack ofawareness, and societal beliefs...
Aunque se promueve como panacea, la meditación intensa puede desencadenar episodios disociativos en individuos vulnerables. Este artículo documenta el fenómeno de la despersonalización/desrealización vinculado a prácticas contemplativas. Se aboga por una supervisión clínica adecuada y la detección de antecedentes traumáticos antes de recomendar estas técnicas.
Contemporary accounts of mystical “non-dual” or minimal-dual consciousness often describe a state beyond the ordinary subject–object framework. In this paper we propose a novel parametric introspection framework, according to which such a breakthrough is not achieved by doctrinal affirmation or mere insight into metaphysics, but by driving specific introspective parameters to critical values....
Tras décadas de prohibición, los psicodélicos regresan a la investigación clínica para tratar el TEPT y la depresión mayor. Este artículo revisa los ensayos fase III recientes y los mecanismos de plasticidad neuronal inducidos. Se analizan los riesgos de abuso y la importancia del acompañamiento psicoterapéutico especializado en el proceso.
La Meditación Trascendental (MT) se distingue de otras técnicas por el uso de mantras y la búsqueda de un estado de "alerta en reposo". Este artículo revisa la eficacia de la MT en el tratamiento de la hipertensión, el estrés postraumático y la ansiedad generalizada. Se comparan sus resultados con los del Mindfulness (MBSR). A través de una revisión narrativa (2014-2024), se examinan las...
The search for the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) is currently dominated by two competing paradigms: Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW). This paper analyzes the recent 'adversarial collaboration' results that test these theories' predictions regarding the anatomical location and timing of conscious activity. We discuss the implications of finding...
