The Implications of Shared Mind Theory (SMT)

Shared Mind Theory (SMT) holds that consciousness is fundamentally relational and field-like rather than individually localized. Individual minds arise as nodal perspectives within a shared conscious field, dynamically coordinated through interaction rather than ontologically isolated. Subjectivity is therefore not private by default, but emerges from participation in a distributed structure of experience.

Abstract

Shared Mind Theory (SMT) holds that consciousness is fundamentally relational and field-like rather than individually localized. Individual minds arise as nodal perspectives within a shared conscious field, dynamically coordinated through interaction rather than ontologically isolated. Subjectivity is therefore not private by default, but emerges from participation in a distributed structure of experience.
