Consciousness as a Recoverable Informational Sector in Stabilizer Quantum Gravity

This paper explores consciousness as a higher-order informational sector within the broader Stabilizer Quantum Gravity (SQG) framework (Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/18846144). The central idea is not to treat consciousness as a primitive ontological ingredient of physics, but as a special class of recoverable, integrated, temporally ordered informational organization arising within a deeper operator-algebraic substrate. In this sense, the manuscript is an extension of SQG rather than part of its minimal physical core. The framework investigates conditions under which a subsystem may qualify as conscious in structural terms, including:- recoverable integration across informational channels,- internally accessible state-organization,- persistence through time,- temporal ordering and self-consistency,- and the distinction between mere information processing and unified informational subjectivity. The manuscript is intended as a structured theoretical exploration at the interface of consciousness studies, quantum information, operator algebras, and emergent-structure frameworks. It does not claim a closed solution to the hard problem of consciousness, but proposes a mathematically guided route for embedding consciousness-related criteria within a broader informational-physical architecture. Status note:This work should be read as a higher-layer conceptual extension of SQG, not as a foundational replacement of the core physical framework.

Abstract

This paper explores consciousness as a higher-order informational sector within the broader Stabilizer Quantum Gravity (SQG) framework (Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/18846144). The central idea is not to treat consciousness as a primitive ontological ingredient of physics, but as a special class of recoverable, integrated, temporally ordered informational organization arising within a deeper operator-algebraic substrate. In this sense, the manuscript is an extension of SQG rather than part of its minimal physical core. The framework investigates conditions under which a subsystem may qualify as conscious in structural terms, including:- recoverable integration across informational channels,- internally accessible state-organization,- persistence through time,- temporal ordering and self-consistency,- and the distinction between mere information processing and unified informational subjectivity. The manuscript is intended as a structured theoretical exploration at the interface of consciousness studies, quantum information, operator algebras, and emergent-structure frameworks. It does not claim a closed solution to the hard problem of consciousness, but proposes a mathematically guided route for embedding consciousness-related criteria within a broader informational-physical architecture. Status note:This work should be read as a higher-layer conceptual extension of SQG, not as a foundational replacement of the core physical framework.
