Beyond the Wavefunction: Qualia Abstraction Language Mechanics and the Grammar of Awareness
Preprints.org July 1, 2025 preprint DOI: 10.20944/preprints202507.0017.v1 (opens in new tab)
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA theoretical framework is proposed that reinterprets conscious experience not as a byproduct of neural computation but as a fundamental grammatical structure. The work argues that qualia—the subjective qualities of experience—can be modeled through an abstraction language whose syntax and semantics mirror the structure of awareness itself. By drawing parallels between wavefunction collapse in quantum mechanics and the emergence of discrete conscious moments, the paper suggests that awareness operates according to a formal grammar that generates experiential states. This perspective offers a new vocabulary for describing consciousness, potentially bridging gaps between first-person experience and third-person scientific accounts.
