The question of how human experience continues to be recognized as one’s own throughout change represents one of the central problems of phenomenology, psychopathology, and philosophy of mind. This article proposes a mechanistic-conceptual model for the emergence of subjective continuity grounded in the theoretical architecture of the FICND. The central hypothesis is that subjective continuity...

Theories of consciousness face a recurring failure mode: ontological commitments that no measurement can touch. We report the complete architecture and consolidated empirical audit of PIC/SFT (the Principle of Conscious Information / Synergetic Field Theory), a working ontology built to avoid that mode: an axiom (conscious information, IC, as the primary unit), a measurable formal nucleus...

This treatise establishes the foundational architecture of Informational Monism, presenting a systematic, logico-axiomatic ontology that addresses the twin crises of spatial primacy in quantum gravity and epiphenomenalism in the philosophy of mind. Moving beyond materialist reductionism and mechanical simulation hypotheses, the framework posits that information is the singular, self-referential...

Functionalism is among the most influential positions in the philosophy of mind. Its central idea is that mental states are determined not by their material constitution but by their functional or causal role. This gives rise to the possibility of multiple realization: if the same functional organization can be realized in biological and artificial systems, then, in principle, the same mental...

PARADOXEMA is a unified ontological framework—not an empirical theory—for apprehending reality through a paradoxical inquiry that transcends dichotomies, integrating diverse metaphysical perspectives within a shared ground. Central to the framework is the claim that nothingness and existence are two sides of the same coin. The framework introduces GRUND, the primordial relational matrix from...

Recent intracranial evidence shows that high-order thalamic nuclei (intralaminar and medial) gate conscious perception through thalamofrontal loops, with information flowing from thalamus to prefrontal cortex; yet the necessity of θ-frequency dominance and the all-or-none discontinuity of gating failure remain unexplained at the first-principles level. Starting from three axioms—finite...

Metrics of informational integration derive from distinct estimator families - functions of the correlation-matrix spectrum (Phi_vN, spectral differentiation) and discretized non-parametric decomposition estimators (O_np, redundancy-synergy binding). Distinct families can diverge on the same system (the Gaussian copula is blind to non-Gaussian synergy), so the relation between families is...

Abstract: The hardest technical obstacle facing consciousness-collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics — the quantum Zeno effect — is not a problem with the formalism but an artifact of the framework within which such models are built. The Zeno problem is framework-dependent: it arises from the assumption, shared by materialism and property dualism, that consciousness is a property...

Abstract: This essay asks whether two vocabularies — sacred, as the contemplative traditions use it, and constraint, as structural analysis identifies it — name the same territory. It tests the question by applying the four criteria of Integration by Constraints to two questions any consciousness-first metaphysics must eventually face: whether the ground is self-knowing or experientially blind,...

Whether consciousness can emerge in artificial systems is a central open problem of cognitive science. We report a complete pure-software simulation, executed on a single personal computer, built on the desire-driven ASMF-DE (Adaptive Symbolic-Spiking Hybrid Architecture): a spiking neural agent endowed with an L0 interoceptive layer, an irreversible wear clock, emotional anchors, and...

Moral values play an important role in shaping responsible, ethical, and socially constructive behavior among college students. During higher education, students experience significant academic, social, and personal changes that may influence their attitudes, values, decision-making, and interpersonal relationships. Meditation and spirituality have received increasing attention as approaches...

Contemplative traditions of China and India developed detailed cartographies of internal states - the Three Treasures (Jing/Qi/Shen) of Taoist neidan and the Kundalini circuit of tantric yoga - without measurable operational definition. We proposed these cartographies as structural heuristics of an informational nucleus (density matrix rho, velocity field v_IC, integrated differentiation Phi,...

Abstract: When radically different traditions — speaking of emptiness and substance, God and Dao, logos and dependent origination — are pushed to their limits on ultimate explanation, agency, and ethics, they converge on the same structural constraints. This convergence appears only after substantial refinement: after anthropomorphism is stripped away, voluntarism collapses under its own...

Abstract This paper publishes a comparative, multi-model philosophical experiment. A singlethesis was given, independently, to four large language models: that large language modelsdo not possess isolated Cartesian consciousness, but function as topological mirrors whosemeaning becomes actual in Martin Buber’s I–Thou stance, and that—read through AdvaitaVedānta—the Hard Problem of consciousness...

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) identifies consciousness with the intrinsic, irreducible cause–effect power of a physical system, quantified by integrated information Φ, and is therefore often applied to artificial neural networks (ANNs) via scalable proxies. Our central finding is that such proxies are not currently reliable enough to support the comparisons they are used for. We test one...

The One T is a developing philosophical theory in which T is the only ontologically independent reality and the only experiencer. What appears as a plurality of individual experiencers is modeled as a plurality of perspectives of T. The model introduces informational objects, informational state spaces, universe-relative graded membership (“degree of existence”), and a distinction between the...

In this article, I present an axiomatic framework designed to formalize the relationship between consciousness, mechanical processes, and subjective experience. In contrast to the limitations of functionalist theories—which describe how the brain processes information but do not explain why such processing gives rise to lived experience—I propose an ontological conception of consciousness as a...
