PRECONSCIOUS RELATIONAL LATENCY: A TWO-THRESHOLD MODEL INTUITIVE EMERGENCE, RATIONAL RECONSTRUCTION, AND THE EPISTEMIC PROMOTION OF INTUITION

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 17, 2026 Claudio Vicente da Silva preprint

BZ Will and Cosmic Intelligence: Self-Organization, Agency, and the Scope of Physical Explanation

Figshare October 17, 2026 Fangcun Zhang preprint

This monograph examines BZ will and cosmic intelligence through the philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and the study of self-organizing systems. It asks what physical models can explain about organization, persistence, information, and agency, and where further conceptual arguments or empirical evidence are required.The discussion connects reaction–diffusion dynamics, thermodynamics,...

QUALIA, MOTIVATION, AND CAUSALITY

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 17, 2026 Vladimir Filoverum preprint

This paper develops a two-level proposal concerning consciousness. At the functional level, affective states may integrate heterogeneous information about bodily condition, goals, learned values, and anticipated outcomes, thereby influencing action selection and the generation of new goals. At the ontological level, the paper considers a stronger hypothesis inspired by verumika: that subjective...

Conserved but Not Continued: Decoherence, Information, and the Finality of the Conscious Subject (Part II)

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 17, 2026 Henri Baskorvil preprint

The first part of this study argued that a human self is best understood as an organised information pattern, that the Hard Problem of consciousness leaves the fate of subjective experience at death formally undecided, and that epistemic agnosticism is the honest response. This second part examines that gesture in detail through quantum mechanics—unitarity, many worlds, decoherence, and quantum...

How Do I Know the Voice in My Head Is Me? Agency, Ownership and Source Attribution Across Inner Speech and Voice-Hearing

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 17, 2026 Maria Kamecka preprint

How do we recognise the voice in our head as our own, and what changes when it feels as though someone else is speaking? This conceptual paper explores the relationship between inner speech, auditory imagery, dreaming and voice-hearing, drawing on neuroscience, psychology and philosophy of mind. It examines how agency, ownership, speaker identity and source attribution contribute to our...

Distinct electrophysiological correlates of low- and high-level visual consciousness with minimized post-perceptual processing

iScience October 17, 2026 Annika Hense, Antje Peters, Torge Dellert et al.

Summary: Conscious visual phenomenology comprises multiple representational levels, from basic features to integrated percepts, raising the question of how the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) differentiate accordingly. Event-related potential (ERP) studies identified early occipitotemporal negativities as reliable NCC; yet, it remains unclear whether these capture conscious content...

NAISTHIKI CIKITSA: THE SUPREME HORIZON OF PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL HEALING IN CLASSICAL AYURVEDA

World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research October 16, 2026 2Dr. Suman Sarkar *1Dr. Mukesh Kumar preprint

Background: The clinical apparatus of Ayurveda is commonly understood through the lens of Laukiki Cikitsa (worldly therapeutics), which works primarily to restore bio-humoral equilibrium using pharmacological substances (Yuktipavyapasraya), spiritual rituals (Daivavyapasraya), and disciplined mental restraint (Sattvavajaya). Nevertheless, the foundational tantrakaras recognized that therapeutic...

From illness to stillness: on becoming (a) patient.

Medicine, Health Care, and Philosophy October 16, 2026 Drew Leder, Kevin Aho

Illness is often understood as a disruption of ordinary temporality, fracturing narrative continuity, constricting horizons of possibility, and immersing sufferers in the slow, uncertain rhythms of waiting. Drawing on phenomenology, existential philosophy, pathography, and East Asian wisdom traditions, this article examines the relationship between growing ill and growing still, being a patient...

BEYOND THE MIND-BODY SPLIT: HOW CLASSICAL INDIA'S DARŚANAS ANTICIPATED MODERN PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 16, 2026 2*Dr. Suman Sarkar 1Dr. Mukesh Kumar preprint

Cartesian dualism has historically kept mental and physical ailments in rigid silos, creating persistent bottlenecks in conventional clinical approaches to psychosomatic disorders. Classical Indian philosophical traditions (darsanas), conversely, resolved this split at the foundation itself by treating the psyche and the soma as a single, interdependent continuum. This paper highlights how the...

The Sound of Hypnotherapy: Identification of Paralinguistic Speech Features Using Acoustic Analysis and Deep Learning.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation October 16, 2026 Albin Grataloup, Angélique Remacle

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness characterized by focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with therapeutic applications in a range of mental and somatic conditions. While prior research has emphasized the linguistic content of hypnotic suggestions (ie, what is said), the paralinguistic and acoustic characteristics of the hypnotist's speech (ie, how it is said) remain...
