This paper offers an in-depth comparative analysis of the concepts of Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) and the Masnavi poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207–73) regarding the theme of the inner path and the soul's archetypes. Despite the apparent dichotomy, Jungian analytical psychology and the Sufi mystical tradition reveal remarkable similarities in their understanding of human consciousness...

This record contains the full replication package for "Default Mode Network Geometry Emerges in Language Model Residual Streams From Next-Token Prediction on Agentive Text: A Universal Topological Signature Across 10 Architectures" (Alieksieienko, 2026). We report that the geometric topology of epistemic representations in transformer language model residual streams mirrors the functional...

The essence of life and consciousness remains a central question in humanity's prolonged exploration of civilization. From classical philosophical speculation to modern scientific empirical research, our understanding of this proposition has deepened continuously yet remains elusive of ultimate answers.

Contemplative traditions often celebrate experiences of “pure” or non-dual awareness as insights into an ultimate reality beyond conceptual grasp. This paper offers a grounded alternative: such Bare Awareness or minimal-dual experiences are best understood not as ineffable metaphysical revelations, but as contingent phenomena constrained by procedural access (skills and practices) and...

In our prior Phase 1/2 study of group retreat psilocybin therapy for patients with metastatic cancer, we observed partial responders who did not...

The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) is uniquely ambitious in proposing a mathematical formula, derived from apparently fundamental properties of conscious experience, to describe the quantity and quality of consciousness for any physical system that possesses it. IIT has generated considerable debate, which has engendered some misunderstandings and misrepresentations. Here...
