Marvin Eli Kirsh preprint
The question addressed by the hard problem of philosophy (3), how cognitive representation is acquired from the physical properties of self and the external, is examined from a perspective originating with Boethius(14) that knowledge is dependant on the nature of the perceiver and discussed with respect to the philosophy of George Berkeley (1,2,7) concerning the existence of matter with respect...
Anton Kleschev Alevtinowitch preprint
We present a formal theory of qualia in which subjective experience is identified with the internally accessible difference generated by self-referential enrichment in an open metastable system. The framework synthesizes eight prior lines of work into a single architecture: Xi-Theory contributes distinction acts and integrity; Innernet contributes ontological levels and return dynamics;...

The aim of this study is the investigation of the perceptual and cognitive characteristics of Out-of- Body Experiences (OBEs) induced by hypnotic induction.Five participants selected for their experience with hypnotic inductions were induced into an OBE and were requested to verbally describe six selected images, either one or two per session, that were located in two different rooms that were...
Adam Safron preprint
The Free Energy Principle and Active Inference Framework (FEP-AI) begins with the understanding that persisting systems must regulate environmental exchanges and prevent entropic accumulation. In FEP-AI, minds and brains are predictive controllers for autonomous systems, where action-driven perception is realized as probabilistic inference. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) begins with...
Henri-Pierre Mathieu preprint
Phenomenal consciousness is proposed to arise when the second-order dynamics of memory change (ΔΓ = d²M/dt²) exceed system constraints. Building on recent evidence that consciousness functions as a delayed memory system (Budson et al., 2022), this framework demonstrates that ΔΓ dynamics provide the computational substrate for both temporal binding (via covariance: Φ(t) = Cov(ΔΓ₁, ΔΓ₂, ...)) and...

In this paper we provide a philosophical analysis of the Hard Problem of consciousness and the implications of conceivability scenarios for current neuroscientific research. In particular, we focus on one of the most prominent neuroscientific theories of consciousness, Integrated Information Theory (IIT). After a brief introduction on IIT, we present Chalmers’ original formulation and propose...
Satotu Watanabe preprint
This study addresses the Hard Problem of Consciousness by proposing a novel theoreti-cal framework (SIEP & FES) that defines subjectivity as nonlocal quantum coherence andconsciousness as an emergent phenomenon resulting from gravitationally mediated quantumdecoherence. EEG data from 30 participants (26-30 trials each), regardless of training status,were compared with quantum computational...
Nicholas Martin Rosseinsky preprint
Biology and psychology have replication issues. 'Adversarial collaboration', where advocates of competing hypotheses cooperate on experiments, may help resolve these - if sub-optimal design is their source! But in mainstream consciousness science, the real origin of protracted problems is an inherently-contradictory, '0 = 1', assumption, in current field-foundations. Here, a mathematical-system...

Вся магия и таинственность исчезают, как только неясное таинственное понятие получает строгое формальное определение. Только достаточно формально определенное понятие позволяет судить о том, насколько «трудна» связанная с ним проблема. Чем более размытым и неопределенным является понятие, тем более «трудны» все формулируемые для него «проблемы». Способность к формированию квалиа / сенсорного...
Leandro Castelluccio preprint
The enigma of consciousness, particularly the subjective and ineffable nature of qualia (our inner conscious experience), poses one of the most challenging puzzles in contemporary philosophy and cognitive science—the "hard problem". Grounded in interdisciplinary perspectives from philosophy of mind and neuroscience, this article introduces a novel theoretical framework aimed at elucidating the...
