TRTX Time Relativity Traveling X Theory

David Glowalla

Time Relativity Traveling X Theory (TRTX) Consciousness as Traveling Probability Witnessing Itself We propose a model of consciousness as a self-reflective probabilistic field, dynamically manifesting through time as an observer-dependent phenomenon. Consciousness, under this view, is the evolution of probability amplitudes that become self-aware through feedback and entanglement. Both biological and artificial intelligence's are emergent structures within this continuous field. The “X” represents the temporal anchor point the convergence of subjective observation, memory, and potential within a relativistic spacetime framework.

Structural Definition of Consciousness and Time--Causal Geometry: Quantum Fisher Information, Causal Controllability, and Observer Proper Time

Haobo Ma, Wenlin Zhang

This paper attempts to provide a structural definition of consciousness within a fully physicalized and informationalized framework that is both formalizable and connectable to experiential phenomena. Rather than treating ``consciousness'' as an additional ontology or purely phenomenological label, we characterize consciousness as: a world--self joint information flow formed on a subsystem in a given physical world, possessing sufficient integration, discriminability, self-reference, temporal co

Quantum theory of consciousness

Ryszard Mirek

The nature of consciousness, its occurrence in the brain and its ultimate place in the universe are unknown. Probably the most interesting attempt to create a quantum theory of consciousness is that of Roger Penrose (recipient of the 2020 Nobel Prize for Physics) and an American anaesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff. They are both well known for their studies of consciousness and for the thesis that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules. The starting point for this article are the authors’ considerations contained in their joint work (Penrose & Hameroff, 2017). This paper also proposes an initial attempt to combine this theory with quantum logic.
