The Theory of Hidden Processes

Abstract

This upload presents two newly developed chapters of The Theory of Hidden Processes (HPT) – a speculative yet ontologically rigorous framework proposing a pre-physical generative layer, denoted Ψ, as the source of both matter and consciousness. The first chapter explores quantum nonlocality, offering a Ψ-based interpretation of entanglement: not as instantaneous communication across space, but as the manifestation of a deeper, pre-spatial unity. Within this view, “spooky action at a distance” is not an anomaly, but a window into the foundational structure of reality. The second chapter investigates gravity, traditionally described as a force or as spacetime curvature, but here reframed as a primordial expression of Ψ in matter. Gravity is understood not merely as a physical interaction, but as a form of proto-consciousness – matter's non-reflective awareness of itself and of other matter, rooted in the recognition of shared origin. Together, these chapters extend the HPT framework into new territories, offering a unified language for nonlocality, gravitation, and the emergence of order – from quantum systems to cosmic structures. All manuscripts are part of an ongoing interdisciplinary project based in Montenegro, integrating physics, philosophy of mind, and biophysics of water.

Superluminal Communication Theory (SCT)

Lei Ding

The nonlocal correlations of quantum entanglement, famously described by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”, have stood as one of the most profound and puzzling features of quantum mechanics since the 1935 EPR paper. Decades of increasingly sophisticated experiments, culminating in loophole-free Bell tests, have irrefutably confirmed that these correlations cannot be explained by any local hidden variable theory. Yet, standard quantum mechanics offers no deeper explanation for this nonlocality—it is simply accepted as a fundamental, irreducible feature of reality. The no-signaling theorem further asserts that this nonlocality cannot be harnessed for superluminal communication, as single measurement outcomes are fundamentally random. This paper challenges this conventional wisdom. It asks a question that strikes at the heart of physical reality: Is quantum entanglement truly fundamental, or is it the manifestation of a deeper, hidden structure? If such a structure exists, it must leave observable imprints. The Instantaneous Teleportation Cosmos (ITC) framework, developed throughout these chapters, proposes precisely such a deep structure: entangled particles are not independent entities, but two ports of the same basal storage unit—a non-spatial, absolutely existing reality from which our four-dimensional spacetime emerges. The ITC framework is built upon four core properties, each derived from first principles, experimental evidence, and rigorous logic: P1 (Storage Perfection): Information in the basal structure is perfectly preserved, never decaying or distorting. This property, rooted in the principle of information conservation, ensures that modulations can be accumulated over time. P2 (Instantaneous Connectivity): Basal nodes are connected without distance or delay. This property, directly motivated by the violation of Bell inequalities, explains the nonlocality of entanglement and provides the basis for the possibility of superluminal communication. P3 (Mapping Determinacy): The projection from a basal state to the statistical distribution in emergent spacetime is deterministic and injective (one-to-one). Determinacy ensures experimental reproducibility, while injectivity guarantees the fundamental distinguishability of different physical states—both prerequisites for science itself. P4 (Manifestation Finiteness): The manifestation of basal information in emergent spacetime requires a local time τ and yields random single outcomes. This property acts as the crucial barrier safeguarding causality, preventing the instantaneous connectivity of P2 from being used for single-shot information transmission, and ensuring compatibility with relativity. These four properties work in synergy. P2 guarantees that a local modulation can affect a distant party. P1 ensures that this effect is accumulable over multiple trials. P3 dictates that a change in the basal state must lead to a change in the statistical distribution at the manifestation layer. P4 explains that while single outcomes remain random, this statistical change manifests as a tiny, detectable shift ΔP in the single-party probability. The central, testable prediction of the ITC framework is that this shift is non-zero: ΔP≠0. This directly contradicts the no-signaling theorem of standard quantum mechanics, which asserts ΔP = 0. Deriving this necessity from the four core properties is a central theme of this theory. The structure of the paper mirrors this logical progression. Chapter 1 re‑examines the no‑signaling theorem, arguing that the existence of the basal structure changes the meaning of local operations—the operation modifies the boundary conditions of the shared storage unit, while the reduced density matrix is merely a projection of the basal state. Hence the theorem holds for finite samples but can be transcended in the infinite‑sample limit. Chapter 2 chains the four properties to rigorously derive that modulation inevitably causes a change ΔP≠0 in the receiver’s single‑party probability. Chapter 3 explores how the bipartite correlation information, lost in the partial trace of standard quantum mechanics, can leave an imprint as ΔP in single‑party statistics under the ITC framework. Theoretical predictions demand experimental tests. Chapter 4 designs an immediately realizable decisive experiment based on demonstrated 10-km trapped-ion entanglement capabilities. By accumulating 245,000 total events (122,500 inside the modulation window) over approximately 30 hours and using a 7σ confidence standard, the experiment will detect ΔP and measure the response delay. If ΔP is significantly non-zero and the delay is much smaller than the light travel time, it would provide the first evidence for a deep structure; if no signal is seen, the one-sided 95% confidence upper bound on ΔP will be constrained below 0.17%, providing the most stringent test of the no-signaling theorem to date. Chapter 5 synergizes the P5 property of SET theory with the π-pulse. By altering the content of the information cluster at the sender (Alice), the π-pulse generates the original probability shift ΔP₀, serving as the source of the signal. Meanwhile, P5 resonance at the receiver (Bob) excites the τ-mode, compressing the manifestation time τ. This reduces quantum fluctuation noise, increases the signal‑to‑noise ratio, and thereby enhances the detectability of ΔP—this process that does not change the signal itself but amplifies its distinguishability within the noise. Working in synergy, these two mechanisms bring ΔP to an experimentally detectable level, ensuring that even a weak initial signal can be reliably captured. This paper presents a coherent, self-contained theory that, starting from the first principles and core properties of ITC theory, predicts observable effects and designs a clear experimental path for verification. Whether the outcome confirms the existence of a deep structure or imposes a more rigorous constraint on the no-signaling theorem, the work herein represents a significant step in our relentless pursuit to understand the ultimate nature of reality.

From Quantum to Reality: Gravity-Induced Quantum Decoherence, Arrow of Time, Matter Self-Assembling, Life, Intelligence, Consciousness, and Free Will (Part Two: From Matter Self-Assembling to Life: Bounded Probabilism Beyond Determinism and Probabilism)

Piero Chiarelli, Simone Chiarelli

This study seeks to establish a consistent theoretical foundation to address enduring open questions in physics—such as the origins of life, free will, the subjective experience of time, consciousness, and biological intelligence—by exploring the connection between the stochastic quantum hydrodynamic model (SQHM) and the order generation in systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, all converging in the manifestation of physical reality. It offers novel insights into the emergence of order, biological systems, and associated functions such as biological intelligence, free will, consciousness, and the behavior of social structures. These insights are grounded in the assumption of a discrete spacetime structure, enabling an analogy of the universe as a running discrete computation, where emergent physical laws arise from the computation’s intrinsic problem-solving goals. This perspective carries profound implications for physical evolution, suggesting that everyday reality, the origin of life, social interactions, and consciousness itself are intrinsic features of the universal physics. It introduces the idea that free will may emerge as a functional mechanism guiding the universe’s progression toward increasingly efficient and organized states, states in which order is preserved to the greatest extent possible. This view embodies a form of bounded probabilism, standing in sharp contrast to the concept of total, unconstrained randomness, which reduces the universe to a mere cosmic game of dice. It also offers a novel perspective through which artificial intelligence can be framed and its limitations, as well as its differences from biological intelligence, can be better understood. This view highlights how the quantum foundations of the universe contribute to the expression of consciousness, outlining potential avenues for advancing AI toward a more faithful emulation of conscious experience.

Quantum Spacetime and Consciousness

Philip J. Carter

A higher-dimensional spacetime model is proposed, accounting for nonlocal quantum phenomena while embracing Special Relativity as a limiting case. The Aspect and Megidish experiments are explained within this spacetime framework. Time is understood as spatial motion relative to higher dimensions, offering the degrees of freedom demanded by nonlocal effects along with a consistent milieu for Kaluza’s 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory. Special Relativity and quantum mechanics converge in the higher dimensions to yield the origins of mass while providing a geometrical mechanism relating mass and spacetime curvature (gravity). Part Two introduces a consciousness model within the higherdimensional spacetime framework, integrating elements of physics, psychology, philosophy and metaphysics. Evidence from dreams is shown to correspond to both the physical model and the consciousness model. A theory of perception is presented on the foregoing basis.

Quantum Entanglement: Fundamentals and Relations with Consciousness/Mind

Mustafa Erol

The “spooky action at a distance” and consequently quantum entanglement of physical systems/particles has been debated ever since the famous paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen-EPR Paradox (Einstein et al., 1935). In spite of being considered of highly controversial, there has been a considerable amount of work so far addressing the issue and many scientifically successful experiments were recently carried out proving that the entanglement is a physical reality (Horodecki et al., 2009). The influence of quantum mechanics and entanglement has been far from the imagination of most scientists, eventually reaching to the ultimate concept of consciousness/mind. The entanglement theory, its connection to the consciousness/mind and finally the entanglement theory of consciousness/mind therefore demands pure scientific interest. In order to maintain the requirements, the present work firstly summarizes the quantum entanglement theory together with its relations with Bell’s inequality and finally describes an “entanglement model of consciousness/mind”.

The Unified Informational Substrate: A Non-Local Field Linking Dark Matter, Consciousness, and Quantum Structure

Bradfield, Winston

This conceptual paper introduces the Unified Informational Substrate (UIS) framework, a speculative but internally coherent model proposing that dark matter functions as a universal, non-local informational field. Within this field, spacetime geometry, quantum coherence, and subjective consciousness emerge as interdependent expressions of underlying informational structure. The UIS model reframes dark matter not as a particle candidate, but as a distributed lattice of integrated information capable of storing, transmitting, and stabilizing patterns across cosmic scales. Consciousness is interpreted as a localized high- (integrated information) pattern, dynamically maintained by the brain as its Physical Substrate of Consciousness (PSC). Quantum measurement is reconceived as an informational integration event, with entanglement and collapse arising from updates in the global informational field. This paper aims to unify key unresolved scientific domains—including the dark matter problem, the quantum measurement problem, and the hard problem of consciousness—under a single informational ontology. The framework also introduces testable predictions linking dark matter density, decoherence behavior, entanglement entropy, and neural coherence signatures. While fully speculative, the UIS framework is designed to be interdisciplinary, falsifiable in principle, and grounded in existing research across cosmology, information theory, integrated information theory (IIT), and emerging quantum gravity models. It represents a contribution toward rethinking the deep informational architecture of reality and motivating new lines of experimental inquiry.
