Research

Expanding the Communicative Field

Routledge eBooks October 12, 2026 Julie S. Byrd

How do we do ecointerculturality, and what does it feel like to experience it? Part Two introduces ecotranslanguaging as the embodied practice through which ecointerculturality comes alive: a way of languaging that extends beyond human speech into the sensory, relational, and spiritual dimensions of a living, interrelated, communicative world. Drawing on nine interconnected theoretical...

A Science of Dattatreya Yoga Shastra: A Systematic Review of Text, Doctrine, and Practice

THE PARADIGM CHRONICLE JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC INQUIRY & CRITICAL THOUGHT October 12, 2026 Shridhar Ghodake

The Dattātreyayogaśāstra (DYŚ) is one of those texts that changes how we see the history of yoga. Composed in South India around 1200 CE, it is the earliest known work to call a physical yogic system Haṭhayoga and the first to weave that system together with Patañjali’s eight-limbed path. The text unfolds as a conversation between the sage Sāṃkṛti and Dattātreya, a divine yogi revered in the...

Consciousness before Language

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 12, 2026 Mart Wijn preprint

Abstract This paper sets out a framework, not a proof. It proposes that the usual order of explanation between consciousness and predictive processing may be reversed: that phenomenal consciousness — bare, non-linguistic awareness — precedes language, and that the specifically overwriting, anticipatory mode of prediction that colors adult experience is, in large part, a consequence of language...

The field of appresentation: a phenomenological–semiotic model of sacred presence in ritual architecture

Time and Mind October 11, 2026 Sevil Mehdilou, Fariborz Dolatabadi, Masoomeh Yaghoobi

This article proposes a four-layer phenomenological–semiotic model of appresentation, understood as the symbolic and affective co-presence of unseen dimensions within embodied spatial experience. Drawing on phenomenology, archetypal symbolism, and theories of cultural memory, the study conceptualizes sacred architecture as a dynamic field in which symbolic meaning and lived presence emerge...

The Mechanism of Vector Replication: Why We See Different Worlds

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 11, 2026 Rajveer Solanki preprint

This paper introduces the Mechanism of Vector Replication, an original framework in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science that addresses how human communication succeeds despite isolated, subjective internal experiences (qualia). Modeling the biological brain as an independent "rendering engine," the framework breaks down perception into a five-step processing sequence: external...

Top Mysteries of the Mind Revisited: Default Space Theory Eight Years On

Journal of Neurological Sciences and Research. October 11, 2026 Ravinder Jerath

In 2018 my colleague and I asked five questions that neuroscience had not answered -how subjective experience relates to the physical world, how perception is so fast, how distributed processing yields one experience, why we sleep, and how emotions are regulated -and argued that the Default Space Model supplied insight into each.Eight years on, two of those answers require correction, one has...
