Before a Marker Becomes a Mechanism develops an adversarial synthetic falsification framework for evaluating dynamical markers in consciousness research before they are granted strong mechanistic interpretation. The study emerged from the progressive failure of its own candidate mechanism. An initial three-step causal-closure metric failed to capture longer directed loops. A generalized...

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has raised a foundational question in contemporary cognitive science: can an artificial information-processing system become genuinely conscious? The Illusion of Conscious AI (ICAI) Framework challenges the inference that increasingly sophisticated information processing, intelligence, language generation, self-modeling, behavioural competence,...

The brain continuously integrates information from the external environment (exteroception) and the internal bodily milieu (interoception). However, how the balance between these two processing streams shifts across vigilance states with differing levels of environmental responsiveness remains poorly understood. Here, we examined neural responses to external auditory and internal cardiac...

Stress among university going students has become a major psychological and public health concern due to academic workload, social adjustment difficulties, competitive environments, emotional instability, and uncertainty regarding future careers. Persistent stress negatively affects mental health, emotional well-being, academic performance, sleep quality, and overall quality of life among...

Health is ordinarily attributed to the body. Disease is diagnosed within organs, tissues, and physiological systems, and recovery is therefore easily imagined as the restoration of order within the same bounded biological unit. This paper challenges the inference from the bodily location of pathology to the bodily containment of health, arguing that the unit within which pathology is correctly...

This paper outlines a dual-aspect model of subjectivity and agency that rejects the standard division between libertarian free will, compatibilism, and mechanistic determinism. Living beings instantiate a single underlying substance with two inseparable aspects—physical and phenomenal. Subjectivity is the phenomenal interior of life itself, not an epiphenomenon of physical processes nor an...

The intellectual grasp of impermanence does not necessarily bring about a sense of peace in life and spirit, and thus a psychological and spiritual vacuum occurs. Using the idea of Emptiness (Śūnyatā) in Buddhist philosophy, Husserl's and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological theories were combined to examine the origin and form of this gap in this paper. Although people today are aware of the...

Contemporary fundamental physics, on inspection, resolves almost entirely into relational structure. Charge, energy, mass, and quantum state each turn out, under analysis, to be conserved or covariant quantities defined by symmetry-relations rather than intrinsic properties of independently existing substances; even the fermionic “matter particles” of the Standard Model interact only through...

Scientific theories of consciousness are typically evaluated by comparing empirical findings across experimental paradigms. Such comparisons implicitly assume that different paradigms provide commensurable evidence and do not systematically favour particular theoretical interpretations. Here, we test this assumption using the updated ConTraSt database, comprising 518 published consciousness...
