This paper proposes a developmental model of human consciousness grounded in recurrent processing theory, sociocultural psychology, and the emerging literature on cross-domain cognition. We argue that consciousness is not a fixed state orproperty but a dynamic, curiosity-driven recurrent process that bootstraps through social interaction, becomes self-sustaining once the recursive loop is...

As psilocybin-assisted therapy becomes increasingly standardized in measuring short-term clinical outcomes, the processes that follow the psychedelic experience remain far less defined. This paper examines integration, aftercare, and long-term follow-up from clinical trials to real-world implementation in Oregon and Colorado, identifying critical gaps and opportunities to better understand,...

What can a whole add while its constituent processes continue, and what evidence identifies that addition? We distinguish process persistence, complete structural preservation, and equality of a local observation. A finite overlap contract separates shared physical occurrences, admissibility of a joint description, and relations left undetermined by local descriptions. Exact overlap requires...

Conscious perception, imagery and dreaming differ in what drives them, yet may share one actively maintained organization: a single running model of the present that covers the world, the body and where one is in it. I propose that operating this organization constitutes experience. The theory names three features needed for any experience: running, in which the model’s content advances by its...

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the tree cult in Turkic mythology from cosmological, religious, and social perspectives. The study examines the relationship between the tree cult and the tripartite model of the universe, its role in totemism and shamanism, and the processes of transformation in the post-Islamic period based on scholarly sources. It also explores the semantic...

Current neuroscientific paradigms primarily rely on emergentism to explain subjective qualitative experience (qualia), positing that consciousness arises organically from complex neural architecture. Despite extensive mapping of neural correlates, the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" remains unresolved, failing to explain how physical matter generates subjective awareness. The Fundamental...

Center for Anticipation 2.0 is an independent research initiative founded by Sergey Antonovich Kravchenko, continuing the work of the original Center for Anticipation (2008–2018). The project investigates how possible futures are represented in human experience through dreams, intuition, premonitions, altered states of consciousness, and anticipatory processes. Particular attention is given to...

Abstract Debate about artificial intelligence and consciousness has centered on one question: is AI conscious? At The Science of Consciousness conference (TSC 2026, San Diego), the prevailing answer was no, supported by substantial argument and data. This paper proposes that the question, however well answered, is not the most productive one. It offers a reframe first posed by the author at TSC...

This article presents a comparative typological analysis of the poetic expression of metaphysical existence in the lyrical works of Yunus Emre and Magtymguly Pyragy. It explores the mystical and philosophical significance of such categories and images as love, “I” and “You,” being and non-being, and the figures of the “Friend” and the “Beloved.” Drawing on Yunus Emre’s lines “Aşkın aldı benden...

Recent advances in neuroscience have demonstrated that specific neuralcircuits associated with memory can be experimentally activated, inhibited,and modified through techniques such as optogenetics. Research on memoryengrams has shown that the manipulation of selected neuronal populations canalter the retrieval and behavioral expression of memories, raising fundamentalquestions about the...

Abstract In depersonalization and derealization (DPDR), patients report that the self and the surrounding world feel unreal, remote, or dreamlike, while memory, reasoning, and perception remain intact on objective testing. This presents a paradox: the components of self-experience appear individually preserved, yet the experience as a whole loses its felt reality. Prevailing accounts localize...

Abstract This paper sets out a framework, not a proof. It proposes that the usual order of explanation between consciousness and predictive processing may be reversed: that phenomenal consciousness — bare, non-linguistic awareness — precedes language, and that the specifically overwriting, anticipatory mode of prediction that colors adult experience is, in large part, a consequence of language...

This article analyzes the artistic and philosophical representation of the concept of the metaphysical world in the mystical lyric poetry of the East and the West, as well as its relationship with the human spirit, divinity, eternity, time, death, and the fundamental questions of existence. The common and distinctive features of Eastern Sufi poetry and Western mystical lyricism are examined...

Current approaches to assessing artificial consciousness remain divided between two paradigms. On one side, thecomputational functionalist checklist proposed by Butlin, Long, et al. (2023) offers 14 highly operationalizablecomputational indicators, yet its omission of a physical self-maintenance threshold leaves it vulnerable tocounterexamples such as decoupled lookup tables (Blockhead) and...

This paper presents a recursive-ontological critique of David Chalmers' hard problem of consciousness, the philosophical zombie argument, and the ontological privilege granted to subjectivity. Centered on the state-update equation S_n = f(S_{n-1}, W_n), it deconstructs the first-person privilege, symmetrically reviews zombie and "philosophical God" arguments, and proposes seven core principles...

Theories of consciousness seek to explain what makes a system conscious, but they do not necessarily explain what makes a later conscious system the same subject as an earlier one.
