The Qualia-Exclusive Simulation Thesis (QEST): A Unified Model for Quantum Reality and Consciousness

The Qualia-Exclusive Simulation Thesis (QEST) presents a unified, non-materialist model of reality, proposing that physical existence is rendered exclusively at the point of conscious observation. This work formalizes a comprehensive framework linking quantum mechanics, consciousness, and information theory, offering novel solutions to long-standing paradoxes such as the black hole information paradox. QEST is an original theoretical contribution, integrating philosophical reasoning, thought experiments, and mathematical formalism to provide a rigorous, self-consistent model of reality.
