Towards an Informational Ontology of the Mind Ontological Foundations and Cognitive Architecture

Abstract

This work presents an informational ontology of the mind that integrates cognitive architecture, collective dynamics, and metaphysical foundations into a unified framework. A single substrate—Immanence—is postulated, operating in two functionally distinct modes, together with a minimal unit of differentiated consciousness—the Monad—whose interaction with neurobiological systems produces the full range of cognitive phenomena. The central concept is the Accumulated Interface, an emergent property of the collective history of interactions that replaces the Jungian collective unconscious with a precise, dynamic ontology. The degradation of this Interface makes it possible to model civilisational collapse without recourse to external explanations. The Gnostic classification of three human types in response to collapse is reformulated in informational terms. The framework is compatible with quantum physics and information theory, but does not depend on them for its philosophical validity.
