This work formulates a rigorous model of nodal decision-making within Planck space-time, expanding the standardmodel of space-time to include a Fifth Dimension (C – Consciousness) and a Sixth Dimension (S – Syntropy). Inthis framework, epifenomenalism is rejected. Consciousness is operationally defined as a non-local feedback looprealized via quantum entanglement. It is shown that the mutual experiencing of quantized points is a process ofexchanging information regarding the states of reduced density matrices. Furthermore, a mechanism for theemergence of a single node's "self-consciousness" is formulated, arising from the autoreferential entanglement of apoint with its own field perturbations. This system, by optimizing the nadrzędną function of the 6th Dimension (theminimization of thermodynamic resistance), functions as a quantum decision network.

This paper inaugurates the first of a three-part exploration into the Quantum Mechanics of Consciousness formulated as QT-Aware 1 , focusing on its mathematical foundations. Building upon von Neumann’s rigorous operator formalism, we reinterpret the Hilbert space framework as an informational architecture that accommodates observer-dependence, self-referential dynamics, and coherence structures.Rather than invoking new metaphysical assumptions, we extend standard quantum mechanics using density operators, spectral projectors, and feedback-based recursion to model consciousness as an emergent, mathematically expressible field. Measurement is treated as a projection operation within a self-correcting system, with entropy and coherence playing central roles in defining informational stability.We introduce recursive tensor dynamics, propose coherence-based attractors as generalized eigenstates of awareness, and validate these structures through formal stability criteria. By preserving mathematical integrity of quantum mechanics, this framework sets the foundation for extending quantum mechanics into domains of cognition, observation, and informational coherence, while remaining fully compatible with established frameworks of modern physics.

This paper proposes a unified mathematical framework that bridges quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and the philosophy of consciousness. It addresses the "hard problem" of consciousness and the quantum measurement problem by introducing three fundamental postulates: Discrete Time: Time is quantized at the Planck scale (tP≈5.4×10−44tP≈5.4×10−44 s). Field-Particle Duality as Rendering: Particles do not move continuously but exist as fields between discrete Planck frames, re-emerging as localized entities at each time step. Wave-particle duality is derived as a theorem of this discrete rendering process. Consciousness as Interference: Subjective experience arises from the interference pattern Φ(r⃗,t)Φ(r,t) of neural oscillators. The clarity of consciousness is defined by phase coherence C(t)C(t), modeled using the Kuramoto order parameter. Key Contributions: The 72° Geometric Filter: The model introduces a geometric projector based on pentagonal symmetry (72∘72∘), ubiquitous in biological structures, which filters the Planck-scale field into 3D perceptual space. Quantification of Perception: We estimate that human consciousness perceives only η≈10−41%η≈10−41% of the total information in the Planck field, explaining why direct measurement of subjective experience is fundamentally limited. Resolution of the Measurement Problem: "Collapse" is reinterpreted not as a mystical event, but as the discrete emergence of a particle at a specific frame update, sampled by the observer's neural network. Empirical Predictions & Alignment with 2025-2026 Data: The model aligns with recent findings in: Alpha-Rhythm Modulation: Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF) as the temporal sampling rate of reality (Nature Communications, 2026). Neural Synchronization: Hierarchical Kuramoto models describing brain criticality (PNAS, 2026). Inter-Brain Entanglement: Quantum-like correlations in empathetic dyads (PNAS, 2026). Testable Predictions: Meditation increases phase coherence C(t)C(t), correlating with gamma-band EEG synchronization. Empathetic interaction leads to measurable cross-brain phase locking (CABCAB). Perceptual bias towards stimuli with 72∘72∘ (pentagonal) symmetry. Intuitive decision-making correlates with the gradient of the interference field ∇∣Φ∣2∇∣Φ∣2. This work provides a falsifiable, engineering-grade ontology of reality, suggesting that matter is "frozen light" and consciousness is the active demodulation of the Planck carrier wave. Keywords: Consciousness, Quantum Mechanics, Planck Scale, Neural Oscillations, Interference, Wave-Particle Duality, Kuramoto Model, Reality Rendering, Discrete Time, 72-degree symmetry.
Understanding the foundations of artificial cognitive consciousness remains a central challenge in artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science. Traditional computational models, including deep learning and symbolic AI, have demonstrated remarkable performance in pattern recognition and decisionmaking tasks. However, they lack essential features of consciousness, such as subjective experience, autonomous goal formation, and self-reflective processing. While theories like Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Orch-OR suggest possible mechanisms for consciousness, they remain either mathematically abstract or face empirical challenges due to decoherence in biological conditions. This study addresses the fundamental research gap by proposing a quantum-information-based framework for artificial cognitive consciousness. Specifically, we introduce the Quantum Reality Function (QRF), a model that formalizes subjective cognition through global quantum coherence, quantum entanglement, and non-local informational integration. The QRF establishes a structured mechanism for autonomous decision-making and selfgenerated states, which existing computational approaches lack. Our methodological contribution involves defining a mathematically consistent formulation of QRF and demonstrating its feasibility through quantum coherence stabilization techniques, hybrid quantum-classical architectures, and coherencepreserving quantum cognitive subsystems. The results show that maintaining long-lived quantum coherence within cognitive architectures significantly enhances information integration, supporting the emergence of subjective-like processing. The findings suggest a new paradigm for AI, where consciousness emerges as an intrinsic property of structured quantuminformation processing rather than a byproduct of computation. This work provides foundational insights for the development of autonomous quantum-cognitive AI systems, with implications for ethics, AI governance, and the future of machine intelligence. Future research will focus on empirical validation through quantum computational experiments and integration with quantumassisted learning models.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made some remarkable advances in recent years, particularly within the area of large language models (LLMs) that produce human-like conversational abilities via utilizing transformer-based architecture. These advancements have sparked growing calls to develop tests not only for intelligence but also for consciousness. However, existing benchmarks assess reasoning abilities across various domains but fail to directly address consciousness. To bridge this gap, this paper introduces the functional contextual N -Frame model, a novel framework integrating predictive coding, quantum Bayesian (QBism), and evolutionary dynamics. This comprehensive model explicates how conscious observers, whether human or artificial, should update beliefs and interact within a quantum cognitive system. It provides a dynamic account of belief evolution through the interplay of internal observer states and external stimuli. By modeling decision-making fallacies such as the conjunction fallacy and conscious intent collapse experiments within this quantum probabilistic framework, the N -Frame model establishes structural and functional equivalence between cognitive processes identified within these experiments and traditional quantum mechanics (QM). It is hypothesized that consciousness serves as an active participant in wavefunction collapse (or actualization of the physical definite states we see), bridging quantum potentiality and classical outcomes via internal observer states and contextual interactions via a self-referential loop. This framework formalizes decision-making processes within a Hilbert space, mapping cognitive states to quantum operators and contextual dependencies, and demonstrates structural and functional equivalence between cognitive and quantum systems in order to address the measurement problem. Furthermore, the model extends to testable predictions about AI consciousness by specifying informational boundaries, contextual parameters, and a conscious-time dimension derived from Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence (AdS/CFT). This paper theorizes that human cognitive biases reflect adaptive, evolutionarily stable strategies that optimize predictive accuracy (i.e., evolved quantum heuristic strategies rather than errors relative to classical rationality) under uncertainty within a quantum framework, challenging the classical interpretation of irrationality. The N -Frame model offers a unified account of consciousness, decision-making, behavior, and quantum mechanics, incorporating the idea of finding truth without proof (thus overcoming Gödelian uncertainty), insights from quantum probability theory (such as the Linda cognitive bias findings), and the possibility that consciousness can cause waveform collapse (or perturbation) accounting for the measurement problem. It proposes a process for conscious time and branching worldlines to explain subjective experiences of time flow and conscious free will. These theoretical advancements provide a foundation for interdisciplinary exploration into consciousness, cognition, and quantum systems, offering a path toward developing tests for AI consciousness and addressing the limitations of classical computation in representing conscious agency.
