Abstract

The persistent divide in consciousness studies between reductive physicalism, computational neurobiology, and qualitative first-person experience requires a unifying, mathematically rigorous framework. The paradigm of Quantum Relational Geometry addresses this challenge by modeling subjective awareness not as an epiphenomenal byproduct of classical computation, but as an occupied, luminous "glow volume" situated within a three-axis conscious cube operating in a five-dimensional ontological manifold. This three-axis structure is defined by the orthogonal coordinates of Agency, Time, and Scale, bounding a persistent, coherent interior volume known as the "spherical glow volume". Within this framework, a fundamental structural principle emerges: the Cube does not create the space; it protects and orients the Sphere. This relationship represents the transition through which fluid potential becomes structured, load-bearing reality.
