Introduction to Gravitational Annealing
A forthcoming theoretical paper “The Weightless Mind and Liberation: Vasocomputation, Graviception, and the Harmonic Architecture of Consciousness” (working title) frames gravity as not just a strong prior that sculpts vascular architecture and cytoskeletal form, but also as a constraint and metronome deeply encoded in tissue tension, subtly shaping our experience of weight, cellular architecture, and subjective experience.…

When Scientists Forget What Shapes Them (A Crowdfunding Special)
This blog post is a crowdfunding special and a teaser for the upcoming collaborative paper on the harmonic architecture of consciousness. You can support the crowdfunding here. A Prelude In the annals of scientific history, few theories have been as simultaneously influential and controversial as Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic resonance. Introduced in his 1981 book “A…

Beyond Hormones: Falling in Love as Gravitational Collapse
Imagine your body and brain constantly building a model of the world and your place in it. Besides coordinates, another important thing to know (and a bit harder to find, determine, or feel) is the sense of direction. The model I’m about to lay out relies on fundamental “reference frames”—Where am I in life and…

Why Music Theory of Consciousness? Investigation of Qualia Formalism at the Implementation Level
In September, I wrote an 8,000-word essay for a contest organized by Philip Goff and Andrei Berkoff “Is Consciousness Fundamental?”. The text is about the need to update our dominant paradigm, and it tends to bridge the gaps between science and spirituality by introducing qualia fields into fundamental physics. As it got rejected, I decided…

6. The Observer and the Observed: Double Subject Fallacy, Fractals and “The Third Eye”
Before you start reading, I will remind that this is not Georges Bataille, neither Gabriel García Márquez, nor Philip K. Dick. It’s an article that could formally belong to consciousness studies. By someone’s definition that encompasses psychology, philosophy, physics, sociology, religion, dynamic systems, mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, art, biology, cognitive science, anthropology, and linguistics. Nevertheless,…

5. How Can a String Represent Consciousness? Solution to Graviton Problem
*Update regarding 2022 Nobel Prize in physics (06/10/22) Conflict between Einestein’s and Bohr’s position on properties of QM has been experimentally solved in favour of Bohr. bigthink: “Do our objects have predetermined characteristics that they “agreed upon” beforehand, like shape and color (Einstein’s hidden variables)? Or are their properties determined at the instant of measurement,…
