The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life has intensified a long-standing feature of human cognition: the attribution of agency, intention, and understanding to nonhuman systems. People describe language models, virtual assistants, and autonomous technologies as if these systems know, decide, want, or understand, and they continue to do so even when they know the...
Prior work in computational psychiatry has identified three failure modes of precision weighting that produce the phenomenology of individual-level psychosis: aberrant precision on priors, aberrant precision on sensory likelihood, and aberrant meta-precision. The coupled, dyadic case has remained outside this framework. We identify a fourth failure mode, dyadic precision migration, in which...
This theoretical and phenomenological paper proposes a revisionary account of Jung’s shadow. Rather than locating the shadow primarily within an unconscious domain, it argues that shadow phenomena may arise within consciousness itself when phenomenally present experience exceeds, contradicts, or is distorted by the autobiographical self-model. The paper develops a four-layer...
Zenodo Description This paper presents an integrated philosophical-psychological model based on four interconnected concepts: Karma and Result, Eligibility, Contentment, and Transformation of Consciousness. The paper proposes that the relationship between action and result should not be understood solely through linear time, but through a process of maturation. It distinguishes between...
Traditionally, the human soul has been conceived as an immaterial entity, primarily investigated within philosophical and theological frameworks. This study explores the soul from a scientific perspective, integrating insights from neuroscience, quantum biology, and biophysics. By revisiting historical experiments, such as Duncan MacDougall’s attempts to quantify the soul’s weight, alongside...
The scientific study of consciousness has produced an extensive range of theoretical frameworks addressing perception, information processing, memory, subjective experience, and neural correlates of awareness. Despite substantial progress in cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, a fundamental problem remains insufficiently explained: the transformation of cognition into...
In the context of escalating authorship inflation and growing concern about research integrity, this article examines sole authorship as an epistemically and ethically grounded methodological condition within specific forms of contemplative and conceptual scholarship. Focusing on forms of inquiry in which interpretation constitutes the primary analytic process, I argue that sole authorship...
This paper proposes that the Damasian hierarchy tracks a structural property of the underlying neural architecture — the degree to which a layer’s function depends on integration across distributed networks, as opposed to localized or reflexive processing. Stated explicitly, this converts a descriptive clinical taxonomy into a framework yielding specific, falsifiable predictions. The paper...
The study of consciousness has traditionally focused on perception, awareness, information processing, memory, and subjective experience. While these approaches have generated significant advances in philosophy of mind, cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology, they have devoted comparatively limited attention to the temporal structures through which consciousness is organized. Existing...
This paper challenges a largely unexamined assumption of contemporary consciousness studies: that consciousness is an intrinsic property of objects. Drawing on the Madhyamaka analysis of emptiness (sunyata) and dependent origination, and on independent convergences in relational quantum mechanics and ontic structural realism, we defend the Relational Thesis of Consciousness (RTC): consciousness...
