Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

The article proposes that consciousness operates through an oppositional dynamic between two minds, modeled as a process of polarizing a higher-dimensional R5 space onto a collapsed R4 cognitive space. This interaction involves escalating reinforcement loops within dual and opposing minds, resulting in lower-dimensional but higher-domain-range space with increased entropy. An example of tribal dispute dynamics illustrates the model, with information exchange transitioning from Gaussian to power-law distributions. Analogies are drawn to wave patterns, superposition, and interference. The model is extended to cosmology, addressing accelerating expansion and galaxy rotation curves, with relativity effects calculated. The authors claim mathematical evidence supports their framework.

Abstract

Neuroscience has theorized the ”two minds” model of the human brain from research on post-surgery ”dual consciousness” of split-brain patients. This article attempts to explain the functioning role of oppositional consciousness dynamics, and how it interacts with quantum mechanics. This article proposes that consciousness is an interactive process of polarizing an observed source of higher dimensional R5 space onto a (cognitively modeled) collapsed R4 space. The dynamics of this process involve escalating (reinforcement loop) interaction within the dual and opposing mind of a single observer. This polarized (collapsed space) results in a lower dimensional, yet higher domain range, and resulting increased entropy. An intuitive and familiar example of escalating tribal dispute dynamics are constructed and formulated. The subsequent entropic effects of information exchange are then calculated as transitioning from Gaussian to power-law distribution. Analogies are drawn between mapped topology, inscribed wave patterns, superposition, collapse, constructive and destructive interference, and discrete energy. This model is then generally framed within the full scope of cosmology, from Planck scale to Macro-scale, to explain the effects of accelerating expansion and galaxy rotation curves. Relativity effects are also calculated. Speculation is avoided with mathematical evidence and patterns.
