1. Introduction Science and spirituality often seem worlds apart: the former devoted to empirical and mathematical rigor, the latter to contemplative or mystical insights. Yet there are striking resonances between these realms. Noether’s theorem—a foundational principle in physics—asserts that whenever a system displays a continuous symmetry, there is a corresponding conservation law (e.g., time-invariance implies […]
1. Husserl’s “Crisis” and the Lifeworld 1.1 The Crisis of European Sciences (1936) In The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, Husserl laments a growing problem in the sciences: Loss of Meaning and Alienation – Modern science, in its quest for exactness, had drifted away from the lifeworld—the realm of immediate, lived experience. – […]
Recent findings in cognitive science have provided profound empirical support for a subjective interpretation of consciousness, which aligns closely with the ideas rooted in Husserl’s phenomenology and the applications of generalized agent theory. By understanding the brain as a network of interacting agents, each contributing to the experience of “now,” we can explore how different […]
Meaning is a concept that seems simple on the surface, but when examined closely, reveals profound complexity. Words, narratives, and language all appear to convey meaning seamlessly, yet this meaning is not fixed, nor is it always fully contained in the words themselves. Rather, meaning is something constructed by both the author and the reader—a […]
The Quantum Perspective on Agent Theory: An Integration with QBism Agent Theory, in its broadest interpretation, provides a universal framework for understanding how entities—whether biological, artificial, or abstract—perceive, process, and act within their environments. This process is described through the Perception-Integration-Action (PIA) cycle, which is central to how agents interact with their environment. Traditionally, Agent […]
. Almost everything can be modeled as “Agents in a Field of Agency”. The first structural take-away from that is that nature of an Agent is not meaningful outside of the Field of Agency. This is a pair of conjoined identities, for each agent. The Field as such is inaccessible except from an Agent tuned […]
The Daily Limit of Sentences: Understanding Cognitive Capacity and Its Implications Introduction Have you ever found yourself feeling overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the sheer volume of information coming your way? Emails, texts, social media notifications, and conversations all vie for your attention, leading to a sense of exhaustion by the end of […]
Metaphysics, as a branch of philosophy, explores the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and the relationships between things. Its history is rich and multifaceted, tracing back to ancient philosophical traditions and evolving through various schools of thought. The relationship between physics, metaphysics, and ontology is intricate, involving both historical development and contemporary discourse. Here’s an […]
Being: The Ontological Foundation At the heart of our exploration lies the concept of Being, an ontological stance that encompasses the entirety of existence. Being, in its purest form, transcends the dualistic boundaries of subjective and objective realms. It is the existential ground from which all phenomena emerge and into which they ultimately dissolve. Consciousness […]
TL/DR Critique on the Practicality of Models: Criticism: If the models we create do not actually mirror the corporeal world’s structure, how can they be so predictively powerful? Counterargument: The efficacy of models, especially in quantum physics, lies not in their direct depiction of reality, but in their ability to predict phenomena within a probabilistic […]
