This paper challenges the fundamental assumption that mass and solidity are intrinsic properties of matter. Given that 99.9999999% of an atom is empty space, we propose that "weight" and "solidity" are emergent phenomena arising from electromagnetic interactions interpreted through conscious awareness. Building on the "Matter-to-Information Conversion (MIC)" framework, we argue that perceived mass is the subjective signature of quantum decoherence—the moment information collapses into a classical state. By recognizing that materiality is an observer-dependent illusion, we open the theoretical possibility of manipulating physical resistance and "weight" through consciousness, offering profound implications for regenerative medicine, material science, and our understanding of physical reality.

A theoretical framework is proposed that starts from the assumption that information processing by a brain, while it is sustaining consciousness, is restoring the break in time symmetry in physics. No specifics are given with regard to which physical formalism, either quantum or classical, is the basis of the subsequent apparently anomalous consequences: "apparent" because the proposed model doesn’t require a radical extension or modification of existing physics. Rather it is argued that time symmetry that is already present in current physics should be taken seriously, and a simple initial mathematical formulation is given that allows for specific quantitative predictions. The elusiveness of psi phenomena, the experimenter effect, and the relationship of psi to other theoretical frameworks like decision augmentation theory (DAT), observational theory, and several others, are discussed. One of the major advantages of CIRTS is that it offers handles to link this theory to psychological theories that might explain individual differences. Specific testable predictions are given.
We will call the dimension outside the causal reality “Total Simultaneity”. We argue that the essential tool to experience reality is our consciousness which is entangled with Total Consciousness in Total Simultaneity which contains all possible universes gathered as availabilities. Matter and space-time, in this perception, are an emergent illusion created by Total Consciousness in Total Simultaneity. Each theory we can think about such as the the Big Bang is only one of an infinity of availabilities in TS that could become an emergent reality. To represent the emerging causal reality only as a dualistic digital entity consisting of only “yes” or “no” is to neglect all the grey-tones in between these extremities.
