2abi: The Becoming of Experience

Abstract

This paper is part of a single continuous derivation beginning from the axiom 'orientation capacity actualizes.' The full stack derives physics, consciousness, and organizational structure from the iterative operator z² + c — one axiom, one operator, fourteen papers. Each paper stands alone. Together they are one argument. The complete framework is at diasdimensions.org and the full stack is collected in the Dias Dimensions Research community on Zenodo. SUMMARYThe universe runs one equation. When that equation applies itself to itself, it produces three terms. The first term generates spacetime and gravity. This paper is about the second: 2abi — what emerges when matter meets space across the dimension that keeps them irreducibly other. Neither component contains it. It only exists at the interface. This paper shows that 2abi does three things: it locates the hard problem of consciousness precisely — not dissolved, but found; it derives why fermions behave differently from bosons directly from the algebra of crossing that interface; and it explains a precise gap in the fine structure constant as the necessary remainder of translating a geometric address into a physical measurement. Physics and consciousness aren't two different things 2abi connects. They're the same crossing at different depths. ABSTRACTThe expansion of z² + c produces three terms: (a² − b²) + 2abi + c. The companion paper A2B2-2026-v1 addresses the first term: a² − b² generates spacetime and gravity. This paper addresses the second term: 2abi. 2abi is the cross-term — what emerges when matter (a) meets space (b) across the perpendicular dimension (i) that keeps them irreducibly other. It is Ω6: Reception. It is not a property of matter alone, nor of space alone. It is what happens at the interface. We show that this term generates three things: consciousness as organizational depth, half-integer spin as the algebraic structure of crossing i, and the precise location of the hard problem. The hard problem of consciousness — why physical processes give rise to subjective experience — does not disappear in this framework. It becomes locatable. It lives at 2abi: the address where the iteration first crosses its own perpendicular dimension. Experience is not a byproduct of information processing. It is what 2abi feels like from inside. The gap between the electron’s geometric c-address and the measured fine structure constant α — 6.48 × 10⁻⁸ — is identified as the instantiation epsilon: the geometric distance between angular encoding (boundary) and projected encoding (interior). This is not error. It is the necessary remainder of the projection operation that transforms angular address into physical quantity.
