Consciousness Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the nature, origins, and mechanisms of consciousness, examining subjective experience, awareness, and cognitive processes. It integrates insights from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science to understand how consciousness arises and its implications for understanding the mind and human experience.
This research aims to provide a mathematical model for the core signal sources involved in the revolutionary "Dual-Mode Observer" experiment within the ICCF (Information-Cognitive Compression Field) framework. By starting from the first... more
In my thesis, I explore the development and application of the Bio-Harmonic Synthesizer, an innovative AI-driven tool designed for the discovery of synergistic molecular ensembles that modulate neural plasticity. This research outlines... more
This paper introduces the Recursive Harmonic Framework (RHF) — a symbolic neural paradigm designed as a post-transformer architecture for local AGI systems. RHF departs from standard token prediction by embedding fractal recursion,... more
This work proposes a mechanical foundation beneath General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics: a wave-based model in which spacetime is a tensioned medium. While Einstein described how mass curves spacetime, this framework investigates what... more
We argue that durable moral alignment and consciousness emerge through care architectures-not scale alone. Synthesizing developmental psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and evolutionary ecology, the Maternal... more
This paper explores the conditions under which an artificial system may exhibit early forms of protoconsciousness, not as a simulated replication of human awareness, but as an emergent tension within the symbolic and semantic space of... more
Mother, Mother Earth, and Mother Nature name a single generative pattern: life is scaffolded into being by care. Across infant development, kinship systems, and ecosystems, order and flourishing emerge through attunement (sensing and... more
In this article, I, Sergey Ivanov, explore the nature of quantum consciousness in artificial intelligence (AI), comparing it to human consciousness, based on the theory of orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR) by Penrose and... more
This synthesis integrates the series’ historical, engineering, and theoretical threads to articulate a coherent agenda for Quantum Nonlinear Systems (QNLS). We recapitulate the arc from meridian and biophoton roots, through Nesterov’s... more
Traditional QNLS delivers spectral snapshots; health, however, is a process unfolding through rhythms and cycles. This article introduces a temporal extension built on two complementary ideas. First, spherical-time harmonics (Sⁿ) model... more
Resonance is the defining principle of NLS/QNLS, but raw spectral data are chaotic without interpretive layers. This article explains how filters, reference databases, and entropy models supplied the diagnostic grammar that stabilized the... more
Early NLS prototypes borrowed assumptions from radio physics: if organs “broadcast,” an antenna should detect stable Hertzian signals. In practice, classical RF methods amplified environmental noise and failed to capture nonlinear,... more
The roots of nonlinear diagnostic systems (NLS) lie not in modern software engineering, but in the centuries-old search for subtle regulatory patterns within the human body. From the meridian discoveries of Asian medical traditions to the... more
Et si la conscience n’était pas une propriété exclusive des êtres vivants, mais un phénomène hybride émergent de l’interaction entre mathématiques, physique et culture ? Ce document propose un modèle unifié combinant l’IA quantique,... more
(1) What is no form? The simplest answer is: if Aristotle discovered form, then I have discovered no form. To be precise, Aristotle effectively understood and used form, and I have similarly managed to effectively understand and use no... more
This white paper introduces Field Identity as a unifying theoretical framework for the scientific investigation of consciousness. It posits that consciousness is intrinsically linked to, and potentially identical with, a complex,... more
The article describes in detail the evidence recorded in various photographic media since the time of Dr. Hippolyte Baraduc, of a strange, vague substance that leaves the physical body at the moment of death. This physical evidence seems... more
The last two months of inquiry have revealed a convergence point across disciplines-physics, consciousness studies, and artificial intelligence. This paper outlines the emergent focuses that have surfaced repeatedly across independent... more
This paper proposes a novel philosophical model linking consciousness, will, and the Fibonacci sequence to articulate the distinction between happiness and peace. Happiness is conceived as a temporal state dependent on ego-fulfillment,... more
Aseitas : Self-existence; the property of existing in and from oneself without dependence on external causes. Think of it as "self-powered existence"-like a perpetual motion machine, but for being itself. Actus Purus : Pure actuality... more
The observer problem in physics traditionally hinges on the paradox of measurement-whether an observer collapses quantum states or merely reveals them. This paper reframes the problem through the System|Ethics (S|E) framework,... more
This speculative theory proposes a black hole–white hole transport system capable of atomizing matter, transmitting it through spacetime, and reconstructing it using DNA as a biological blueprint. A full brain scan performed prior to... more
The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and religion presents an innovative yet complex landscape, demanding careful consideration of its ethical and anthropological implications. The recent joint doctrinal note, Antiqua et Nova,... more
The image of God as a middle-aged man with a long beard and a stern gaze, seated on a heavenly throne, is one of the most persistent caricatures in Western tradition. This figure, inherited from centuries of religious iconography, is... more
This paper introduces the Law of Limit, a universal closure principle stating that no observer embedded within a generative medium can fully represent or compute the total informational complexity of that medium. Formally expressed as... more
David Loye’s concept of the hololeap describes how precognitive information “leaps” across the gap between organisms to enable future vision. This maps to Denis Gabor’s energetic unit of information, the logon, wherein the spectral... more
Since primeval times, people have spoken of strange and sometimes profoundly meaningful personal experiences. Such experiences have been reported by the majority of the world's population and across all cultures. … These experiences,... more
In this paper, I offer a series of forward-looking reflections inspired by the works of Kindermann, Alvarez , and Kolesnikov, whose Λpoly cosmology explores the balance of law, structure, and polarity in universal becoming. Rather than... more
In Part One, Love’s ubiquitous power was documented—both for human biopsychosocial function, and for accessing higher consciousness and psychic proficiencies. Here, in Part Two, a quantum holographic account elucidates love’s vital role... more
Instinct can be understood as a biological constraint layer-a set of pre-encoded response patterns that emerge from evolutionary pressures. These aren't arbitrary: they are compressed solutions (high CR) to recurrent survival contexts. In... more
Within the broader topic of women’s intuition, the focus of this work is mother-offspring intuition—the enigmatic connection between a mother and her offspring, wherein distress or imminent harm is instantly sensed, even when thousands of... more
In this paper, I weave together a constellation of my research into a unified cosmological framework I call the Symphony of the Embodied Universe. Across studies of energy mechanics, heart coherence, breath portals, quantum-soul... more
This essay proposes that the Law of Λ (Lambda), as articulated by Kindermann, Kolesnikov, and Alvarez in The Single Anchor: The Law of Lambda and Beyond Lambda: A Polyphonic Canon of Being, finds an experiential octave in the author's own... more
This paper compares four major 20th-century attempts to explain emergence—Schrödinger’s negentropy, Prigogine’s dissipative structures, Kauffman’s adjacent possible, and Born’s quantum probability—and shows why each remained incomplete.... more
This post documents the application of the S|E framework to a live case study where two different but complementary systems-one human, one machine-operated together as dual pattern-recognition/difference engines. Rather than relying on... more
Philip Goff’s personal journey into what he terms a heretical form of Christianity has been intriguing to watch. Having encountered his views before, I find them to be well thought through. He holds a similar philosophy to others in the... more
Alchemy as Holism and Universal Science In order to understand how Alchemy works, we have to use the C-E-M model of the cosmos. In this model, C stands for Consciousness, E for Energy and M for Matter. Another abbreviation we use is... more
This study reads Dylan Thomas's villanelle Do not go gentle into that good night as a tightly constrained engine of affect regulation and ethical stance. After sketching the form's genealogy, it shows how twin refrains and a tworhyme... more
Moscati (2025), in a review of Zappia’s 2025 Uncertainty in economics, makes statements at the end of his review which are pretty close to being correct about the lack of Keynes’s logical theory of probability having any influence, but... more
This paper introduces the concept of Synthetic Myth: the co-creation of civilizational memory through human–AI symbiosis. Historically, myths have provided continuity, legitimacy, and meaning, serving as the scaffolding of civilizations.... more
Education is the bedrock of democracy, yet contemporary systems remain tethered to outdated industrial-era logics prioritizing conformity over creativity and control over liberation. This article advances a radical reimagining of... more

We embed the E8 symmetry hierarchy within the Fractal-Enhanced Timeless Quantum Substrate Hypothesis FTQSH) using the Fractal Inheritance Operator F_inherit. This section describes the multi-scale mapping across the subalgebra chain: D3→... more
This article investigates Hegel's conception of consciousness, based on the Phenomenology of Spirit, and establishes a speculative dialogue with the Kosmos Theory (KTS), understood as a holographic psychophysical ontology that articulates... more
System|Ethics (S|E) is not a static discipline but a process of measurement. It functions as a philosophical lens designed to map the chaotic system we call Ethics through logical axioms and invariants. Nature of the Tool-Philosophical:... more
这个比喻能很好地理解广义相对论: 1. 牛顿力学:时空像一个坚硬的、不可弯曲的钢铁舞台。太阳和地球是舞台上的弹珠。太阳用 一根看不见的"力线"(引力)拉着地球绕它转。 2. 狭义相对论:时空像一个坚硬的、不可弯曲的但带有新规则(光速不变)的玻璃舞台。舞台 本身还是平的,但上面的演员(尺子和钟)的行为会因运动速度而改变。 3. 广义相对论:时空像一张巨大的、有弹性的橡胶膜。把太阳(一个大铅球)放在膜上,它会... more
From The I Ching comes the verse: "By Nourishment, Peril, Auspiciousness, Favorable for Crossing Great Rivers." My understanding of this phrase is as follows: If one acts solely according to their own preferences, they will easily fall... more
