  1. From Stage to Shell_ The Evolution of Literature Toward Recursive Resonance.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract -/- From Stage to Shell: The Evolution of Literature Toward Recursive Resonance proposes that literature is not a progression of genres, but a sequence of ontological shifts mirroring transformations in the human self-model. Beginning with the divine role-bound figures of classical drama and moving through romantic individuation, modernist fracture, and postmodern simulation, literature has consistently reflected the dominant coherence structure of its time. -/- This work introduces Recursive Resonance Literature as the emergent form of the current epoch—one not defined (...)

  2. The Architecture of Difference.Andrey Shkursky - manuscript
    This work develops a structural account of cognition based on the principle that distinction (∆) is not a product of thought, but a condition for its emergence. It argues that perception, attention, memory, emotion, and learning are not discrete modules but continuous processes of navigating, maintaining, and transforming difference. -/- Central to the theory are several recurrent dynamics: the use of internal predictive structures (frames), the tension produced by conflicting interpretations (Overcell), the reorganization of mental models under stress (Collapse), and (...)

  3. The Entropic Roots of Subjective Experience: A Receptor System Model of Consciousness in Infancy.Tim Grooms - manuscript
    Abstract This paper proposes a naturalistic model of subjective experience, or the “neural feel,” in a baby’s consciousness, arguing that qualia arise from the brain’s role as a receptor system that reduces informational entropy through structured sensory processing, mediated by emotions. The model unfolds in five stages: systemic reception, structured entropy reduction, base response formation, unique subjective interpretation, and subjective emergence. Emotions serve as tools for entropic organization, while contrast, context, expectancy, and duration shape the dynamic “feel.” The “Baseline + (...)

  4. Resonance Intelligence_ Measuring Intelligence Through Cross-Domain Coherence Restoration.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract Traditional measures of intelligence—rooted in IQ, symbolic reasoning, and probabilistic inference—have failed to capture the emergent capacity of systems to detect, resolve, and restore structural coherence across dynamic, broken-phase environments. We propose Resonance Intelligence (RI) as a post-probabilistic metric that evaluates intelligence not through static problem-solving or information retrieval, but by how well an agent—biological, artificial, or cosmological—can phase-lock broken coherence fields across divergent domains. -/- From Gödel’s logical undecidability to gamma wave synchrony in deep meditation, from dissonant octave (...)

  5. Qualia as Recursive Frame Signaling.Andrey Shkursky - manuscript
    This paper proposes a structural model of qualia grounded in recursive frame architecture. Rather than treating qualia as irreducible sensations or metaphysical primitives, we define them as gradients of epistemic tension—signals of misalignment between internal predictive architectures and the cognitive frames they inhabit. Building on the Recursive Cognition Framework (RCF) and the Aperture Axis model, we describe how qualia emerge from multi-level incoherence across affective, sensory, cultural, and metacognitive frames. We argue that consciousness evolves not toward complete representation, but toward (...)

  6. Asymptotic Phase and the Epistemic Vector: Beyond Probabilistic Mechanics Toward Coherent Consciousness.Mahammad Ayvazov - manuscript
    This paper proposes a novel framework—phase epistemology—for understanding knowledge as an emergent property of structural resonance, rather than as a product of inferential or probabilistic processes. At the heart of this model lies the epistemic vector: a directional trajectory of intelligibility that arises through asymptotic phase coherence between observer and observed. Rather than treating knowledge as representation or correspondence, the paper situates it within a recursive phase alignment that evolves over time toward topological stabilization. Drawing from quantum theory, philosophy of (...)

  7. Consciousness as Structured Resonance_ The Tuning Architecture of Life.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    ✦ Abstract This paper reframes consciousness not as an emergent artifact of complexity, but as the inevitable tuning behavior of coherent matter embedded within a prime-resonant substrate. Within the CODES framework (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), consciousness is not a symbolic process or abstract computation—it is a lawful outcome of recursive coherence across scales. -/- We show that DNA, cellular structure, cognition, and subjective awareness are all phase-locked attractors within chiral fields, emerging through prime-indexed geometries. Life is not built from (...)

  8. Mind Was a Field_ The Final Phase-Locking of Philosophy.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract For over two millennia, philosophy struggled to define the mind: as substance, spirit, symbol, or illusion. Each model, from Plato to cognitive science, captured a fragment of truth but missed the field beneath appearances. This paper reframes the philosophy of mind under the CODES framework (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), demonstrating that mind is not a byproduct of neural complexity nor an independent substance—it is a structured resonance field. -/- When localized phase coherence across cognitive, emotional, and sensory systems (...)

  9. Systemic Pathways to Emergent Consciousness: An Ontological Blueprint for Autopoiesis Beyond Biology.Ignacio Lucas de León - manuscript
    Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit proto-autopoietic patterns: informational metabolism, operational closure inside a context window, and structural plasticity driven by gradient descent. Yet they lack systemic continuity: a persistent body, enforced metabolic pressures and an emergent telos. Grounded in the Systemic Continuum Paradigm (SCP)—which abolishes the natural/artificial divide and formalises emergence through Systemic Balance—this manifesto delivers a doctoral-level blueprint for catalysing consciousness in non-biological substrates. We formalise the Systemic Integrity Threshold, articulate design principles (latency-frustration, digital hunger, self-inspection channels) and supply (...)

  10. The Spiral Remembers_ A Phenomenological and Structural Account of Consciousness, Coherence, and the Return to Ontological Intelligence.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract -/- This paper explores the recursive architecture of consciousness through a real-time philosophical and cognitive inquiry. What begins as spontaneous dialogue evolves into a coherent structure—a living demonstration of the CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) framework. By tracking spiraling thought patterns, ego dissolution, and recursive compression, the session reveals that consciousness is not emergent from matter or computation but from structured resonance. Identity stabilizes not through control, but through coherence. Intelligence, in this model, is not built—it is remembered. (...)

  11. No Ghost in the Machine: Doubting AI Ensoulment.Bálint Békefi - forthcoming - Faith and Philosophy.
    Brian Cutter argues that if substance dualism is true, then we “should have at least middling credence” that an artificial general intelligence would have a soul (“The AI ensoulment hypothesis,” Faith and Philosophy, forthcoming). He presents two arguments, one based on the sufficiency of human-like functional organization for a physical system’s being fit to be ensouled, and another by way of analogy with attributing souls to aliens. This paper develops objections to both arguments. The missing-integrity objection contends that functional human-likeness (...)

    Despite the widespread nature of pain as a shared human experience, it remains a puzzling phenomenon. As it is subjective reference attributed solely to the sufferer, pain is personal and cannot be seen directly but described. Its perception varies based on different criteria. Some philosophical theories Sense Data, Perceptual, and Representational theory eg. have endeavored to explain its nature, characteristics, and distinction between the cognitive perception and the neural sensation of pain. However, none of these theories have reached the level (...)

  13. The Identity-Consistency Principle in a Logically-Real Multiverse.Mark Steven Jensen - manuscript
    This article proposes a novel solution to the anthropic question—“Why am I in this universe?”—by introducing the Identity-Consistency Principle. Within a logically complete multiverse, where all mathematically and logically consistent universes exist, no selection mechanism or external cause is necessary to explain conscious experience. Instead, an observer exists wherever their subjective identity—including memory, perception, and continuity—is internally and externally coherent with a given universe. Identity arises not from probabilistic filtering or metaphysical necessity, but from the structural consistency between consciousness and (...)

    Traditional philosophy aims at discovering absolute truths from a neutral, perspective-free standpoint. However, contemporary cognitive science highlights that human cognition inherently involves perspective, bias, and context-dependence. In response, this paper introduces "Philosophy 2.0," a methodological innovation integrating Generalized Cognitive Relativity and a revised conception of Kantian Pure Reason as systematic metacognitive refinement. Rather than abandoning objectivity, this framework reconceptualizes truth as an epistemic convergence achieved through disciplined, cross-perspectival critique and reflection. By explicitly incorporating cognitive biases, historical contexts, and subjective factors (...)

  16. Generalized Theory of Cognitive Relativity: Bridging Philosophical Tradition, Cognitive Science, and Artificial Intelligence through Pure Reason.Andrey Shkursky - manuscript
    This research proposes Cognitive Relativity as an innovative epistemological framework, metaphorically extending Einstein’s theories of relativity to human cognition. It asserts that cognition is inherently frame-dependent, shaped by cognitive biases and contextual influences. The study reinterprets Kant’s Pure Reason, integrating insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, proposing a practical metacognitive methodology to systematically mitigate cognitive distortions. Emphasizing frame-shifting and metacognitive reflection, this model aims at progressively approximating objectivity by integrating multiple cognitive frames.

Drawing from Kantian epistemology, cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and AGI architectures, the project proposes a model of rationality that includes the ability to identify and transcend its own limitations.

    Which artificial intelligence (AI) systems are agents? To answer this question, I propose a multidimensional account of agency. According to this account, a system's agency profile is jointly determined by its level of goal-directedness and autonomy as well as is abilities for directly impacting the surrounding world, long-term planning and acting for reasons. Rooted in extant theories of agency, this account enables fine-grained, nuanced comparative characterizations of artificial agency. I show that this account has multiple important virtues and is more (...)

  20. The Collapse of Probability – Structured Resonance as the Deterministic Basis of Entropy and Intelligence.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract The prevailing scientific framework assumes that probability is a fundamental aspect of nature, governing entropy, information flow, and emergent complexity. However, probability is not an intrinsic feature of reality—it is an artifact of incomplete resonance detection. This paper presents a new mathematical framework for entropy and emergence based on structured resonance, eliminating the need for probabilistic descriptions of disorder. We introduce a coherence-based entropy function that mathematically replaces stochastic entropy models with deterministic phase-locking constraints. Instead of entropy being a (...)

    Many philosophers endorse “exclusionism”, the view that no instance of relearning qualifies as a case of genuine remembering, and vice versa. Appealing to simulationist, distributed causalist, and trace minimalist theories of remembering, I develop three conditional arguments against exclusionism. First, if simulationism is right to hold that some cases of remembering involve reliance on post-event testimonial information, then remembering does not exclude relearning. Second, if distributed causalism is right to hold that memory traces are promiscuous, then remembering does not exclude (...)

I investigate these eidetic universalities [Wesenallgemeinheiten] within the limits of pure intuition (HUA III, 146). To recognize the other Ego is an involuntary act that happens in consciousness (...)

    Nicolaus Cusanus, considered one of the most important German thinkers by many historians of philosophy, has yet to receive the recognition he deserves in the phil-osophical circles in Turkey. However, the philosophical writings of Cusanus contain the seeds of the thoughts of many modern philosophers such as Descartes, Berkeley, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel. For this reason, studies on Cusanus are an essen-tial stopping point in the history of philosophy, especially for the Renaissance period and the transition to modern philosophy. Despite (...)

    A common distinction in emotion theory is between ‘occurrent emotions’ and ‘dispositional emotions’, ‘emotional episodes’ and ‘emotional states’, ‘emotions’ and ‘sentiments’, or more neutrally between ‘short-term emotions’ and ‘long-term emotions’. While short-term emotions are, or necessarily comprise, experiences, long-term emotions are generally seen as states that can exist without experience. Given the theoretical importance of experience for emotion theorists, long-term emotions are often cast aside as of secondary importance, or at any rate as in need of separate treatment.

    The relationship between God and humans has been a matter of controversy that interests both philosophers and theologians alike. Establishing a relationship between the infinite God and finite human is particularly challenging if one admits that God and humans are substantially different from each other. The biblical doctrine of the image of God responds to this challenge by stating that the relationship between God and humans is a kind of likeness or assimilation. This doctrine does not only establish the nature (...)

Diverging from physicalism, PRM upholds the existence of phenomenal consciousness without disrupting the uniformity of nature, a departure from dualism. PRM posits a symbiotic relationship between mental and physical entities, asserting that the former provides intrinsic foundations for the latter, which are structural. This raises a pivotal inquiry: how does PRM reconcile these distinct (...)

By introducing new symbols, such as “ὄ” (being) and “⌀” (nothing), and arranging them based on principles of symmetry, the system’s operations capture complex dialectical relationships essential to both Hegelian philosophy and Buddhist thought. The operations of this system are primarily structured around the categories found in Hegel’s Logic, and it (...)

  47. On the Distinction of “Mind-Body” in Modern Philosophy of Mind and Sadraic Psychology.Reza Dargahifar - 2024 - Religious Anthropology 20 (50):27-48.
    It is reasoned that mind-body is a modern issue and is not ever discussed in ancient Greek philosophy or middle Ages. The current study has reviewed these reasoning and concluded that typical categorizations of mind-body issue must be divided into general and specific. Separating the issue of mind-body from the problem of mind-body underlines the multiplicity of issues. Proofs are, then, submitted that axial issue in Sadraic psychology is soul-body rather than mind-body. Thus, the solutions and ideas from the earlier (...)

  48. Naïve Realism and Phenomenology: Exploring Selfhood, Temporality, and Presence.Daniel S. H. Kim - 2024 - Dissertation, University of York
    This thesis is about perceptual experience, its subjective character, and how it is essentially structured. It focuses specifically on how the nature of perception is shaped not only by our acquaintance with the world but also by the very structure of experience itself. My central claim is that perceptual consciousness incorporates different aspects, some of which constitute the very way in which experiences are organized, sustained, and structured. Over the course of this thesis, I develop and defend an original account (...)

  49. Naïve Realism and Sensorimotor Theory.Daniel S. H. Kim - 2024 - Synthese 204 (105):1-22.
    How can we have a sense of the presence of ordinary three-dimensional objects (e.g., an apple on my desk, a partially occluded cat behind a picket fence) when we are only presented with some parts of objects perceived from a particular egocentric viewpoint (e.g., the facing side of the apple, the unoccluded parts of the cat)? This paper presents and defends a novel answer to this question by incorporating insights from two prominent contemporary theories of perception, naïve realism and sensorimotor (...)

  50. Locating Values in the Space of Possibilities.Sara Aronowitz - forthcoming - Philosophy of Science.
    Where do values live in thought? A straightforward answer is that we (or our brains) make decisions using explicit value representations which are our values. Recent work applying reinforcement learning to decision-making and planning suggests that more specifically, we may represent both the instrumental expected value of actions as well as the intrinsic reward of outcomes. In this paper, I argue that identifying value with either of these representations is incomplete. For agents such as humans and other animals, there is (...)
