Alternation and Approximation: Notes on the Foundations of Consciousness

This is a collection of unpublished reflections on the structural conditions underlying consciousness, agency, and perception. Central is the concept of infinitesimality structure, a theoretical framework that aims to reconcile determinacy and indeterminacy in decision-making processes and perceptual experience. Building on my major work, How Consciousness Creates Reality: The Full Version, I assume that consciousness emerges through dynamic processes of condensation, approximation, and alternation.

Abstract

This is a collection of unpublished reflections on the structural conditions underlying consciousness, agency, and perception. Central is the concept of infinitesimality structure, a theoretical framework that aims to reconcile determinacy and indeterminacy in decision-making processes and perceptual experience. Building on my major work, How Consciousness Creates Reality: The Full Version, I assume that consciousness emerges through dynamic processes of condensation, approximation, and alternation.
