Cognitive Projection and Observer Entropy: A Minimal Model of Subjective Physics

Version 7 introduces a retrodictive reconstruction model that extends the Subjective Physics framework to the inference of past cognitive states. The model formalizes a damped geodesic boundary value problem under cognitive potential V(y;B)=(y−B)^2, enabling entropy-minimizing trajectory reconstruction from observed outcomes. It defines retrodictive entropy ΔH=H(A)−H(A∣B), simulates entropic dynamics under varying outcome interventions, and visualizes bifurcations in inferred origins. This version implements a feedback loop intrinsic to Kaminsky’s hypothesis, where final outcomes reshape the perceived past through entropy-consistent reconstruction. It supersedes all prior versions by introducing a concrete computational mechanism for subjective retrodiction.

Abstract

Version 7 introduces a retrodictive reconstruction model that extends the Subjective Physics framework to the inference of past cognitive states. The model formalizes a damped geodesic boundary value problem under cognitive potential V(y;B)=(y−B)^2, enabling entropy-minimizing trajectory reconstruction from observed outcomes. It defines retrodictive entropy ΔH=H(A)−H(A∣B), simulates entropic dynamics under varying outcome interventions, and visualizes bifurcations in inferred origins. This version implements a feedback loop intrinsic to Kaminsky’s hypothesis, where final outcomes reshape the perceived past through entropy-consistent reconstruction. It supersedes all prior versions by introducing a concrete computational mechanism for subjective retrodiction.
