ABSTRACT Structured pranayama programs delivered in schools depend on a supervising instructor, a fixed schedule and an institution’s continued cooperation, and each of these ends when the program does. What remains available to a young person afterwards is rarely considered at the design stage. Existing digital tools offer limited help: few breathing and mindfulness applications have been...

This working paper develops an evidence framework for distinguishing competent artificial agency from consciousness. It asks two separate questions: when does the evidence justify investigating an artificial system as a consciousness candidate, and what further commitments would be needed to attribute subjective experience to that system? The paper is a philosophical and architectural position...

Western eschatology often depicts the afterlife as either static contemplation or undifferentiated union with the Divine, leaving the social mechanics of disembodied interaction undertheorized. Using an autoethnographic case study anchored in a lifelong twin bond, this paper investigates post-mortem sociality through a strictly Christocentric lens. Drawing on experiential data of communication...

This paper develops a contemplative phenomenology of space as an abiding and non-abiding matrix. Space appears to abide because it remains available throughout the emergence, stabilisation, transformation, and disappearance of phenomena. Yet it is simultaneously non-abiding: it has no permanently fixed centre, is exhausted by none of its contents, and does not possess the entities temporarily...

The traditional comparison between biological brains and artificial systems is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain in terms of individual properties. Artificial networks can exhibit recurrence, plasticity, critical or near critical dynamics, metastable behavior, high dimensional population activity, adaptive responses, and large scale connectivity. Whole brain simulations have reached...

Inspired by the insights of David Lewis-Williams, rock art research has changed significantly over the past half-century. As he has shown, interpretations of hunter-gatherer rock paintings and engravings in southern Africa depend inextricably on working back and forth between the surviving imagery and its location, on the one hand, and insights from (principally San) ethnographic data on the...

Pharmacotherapy for depression is commonly prescribed, yet fewer than half of patients achieve remission with a single treatment. Many also experience intolerable side effects, highlighting the need for new treatment approaches. Classic psychedelics interact with the serotonin (5-HT) receptor class and are therefore strongly involved in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses such as depression,...

Psilocybin, a compound found in certain species of Psilocybe mushrooms, shows potential as a treatment for various psychiatric conditions. In the past decade, a growing body of evidence has shown the effectiveness of psilocybin in treating conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders. This review...
