This is a working paper I created about how near-death experiences can help scientists become more open to studying other spiritually transformative experiences.

Global Workspace Theory has failed to prove that broadcast is necessary or sufficient for human-like reportable access consciousness. Either broadcast is just availability to reasoning, memory, action and speech, in which case it is a renaming and not a mechanism, or it is a workspace architecture that has not been shown necessary for that availability. To resolve this, I construct direct...

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...
Accountability in research August 10, 2026 Heather Kempton
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...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 10, 2026 Sidário Rodrigues Malheiros-junior preprint
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...
