Fusions of Consciousness
This theory proposes that conscious experiences and subjects exist beyond spacetime as fundamental entities with dynamics described by Markov chains. It shows how these conscious agents can combine, fuse, and have their experiences merge to create new agents and qualia. Spacetime and particle interactions are proposed to be projections encoding the dynamics of communicating conscious agents, rather than being truly fundamental.
The Universe in Consciousness
Imagine a world where everything is connected by a single mind: Bernardo Kastrup argues that reality is fundamentally mental, not physical. He suggests that what we perceive as individual consciousness is actually fragments of a universal consciousness. Kastrup challenges the mainstream view of materialism, proposing instead that the mind is the primary substance of the universe. By integrating concepts from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, he presents a compelling case for a mental universe, urging us to rethink our understanding of reality.
