How do protein-level conformational fluctuations modulate phase transitions in consciousness?

I'm exploring whether molecular-scale thermal fluctuations, especially in transmembrane proteins and ion channels, can trigger or disrupt coherence across neural oscillatory hierarchies. In my...

Have serotonin-based brainstem circuits been modeled as coherence gates for recursive transitions in consciousness?

In the ODTBT model, recursive coherence builds across nested holonic scales until a threshold, TWIST, is reached. Recent research on the median raphe nucleus (MRN), interpeduncular nucleus (IPN),...

Has anyone attempted to experimentally validate negentropic entanglement as a precursor to cognitive binding?

I’m exploring whether negentropic entanglement, conceived as the anti-entropic process through which informational order arises from quantum-thermal or functional fluctuations, has been...

Developing an ODTBT-based consciousness model grounded in oscillatory physics, any researchers working on similar frameworks open to dialogue?

I’m currently working on a formal model of consciousness based on the Oscillatory Dynamics Transductive-Bridging Theorem (ODTBT). The core idea is that consciousness arises from recursive...

What frameworks exist that describe consciousness as a dynamic transductive process rather than a representational state?

Most dominant models in neuroscience and cognitive science, such as representationalism, predictive coding, and global workspace theory, tend to treat consciousness as a state defined by symbolic...

Has anyone studied how protein fluctuation or thermo-qubit disruption—under entropic scaling—affects consciousness or brainwave states?

I’m exploring whether consciousness can be experimentally modulated or disrupted through targeted interference with protein-level fluctuations or thermo-qubit dynamics, specifically under...

Are there known techniques for capturing "functional entropy" across brain scales?

Building on my previous questions regarding thermo-qubit dynamics, intentionality, and intermittency spikes in EEG, I’m now looking into the concept of functional entropy, that is, entropy as a...

Has anyone formally modeled mass as an oscillatory compression node expressed as a static scalar value?

I’m investigating whether mass, traditionally treated as a scalar quantity in both classical and quantum contexts, has ever been formally modeled as an emergent feature of oscillatory compression,...

Can the Friedmann equation be modeled as a nested oscillatory structure in the context of quantum cosmology?

I'm exploring whether the Friedmann equation, typically used to describe the large-scale structure of the universe, can be reframed as a nested oscillatory system when considered within a quantum...

How does the distinction between intrinsic and Shannon information impact models of intentionality or semantic grounding in neural systems?

Following on from my question about differentiating intrinsic from Shannon information, I’d like to ask how this distinction affects theoretical models of intentionality and the emergence of...

Can the restructuring of informational redundancy in the brain be equated with an interference-based oscillatory phase shift?

I’m exploring whether the restructuring of informational redundancy in neural systems, a process often cited in models of consciousness (e.g., Pribram, Poznanski, Chauvet), can be understood as a...

Are there known critiques or empirical challenges to the idea of time as a nonlinear thermodynamic field in cognitive neuroscience?

I’m investigating the theoretical proposal that time in the brain may not be strictly linear or metric, but instead emerges as a nonlinear thermodynamic field, one shaped by entropy gradients,...

Are there non-invasive methods for measuring functional entropy across brain scales in relation to IIT, the Free Energy Principle, or similar models?

I'm exploring non-invasive techniques to measure functional entropy across brain scales, not just as signal complexity, but as a reflection of informational reorganization or intentional dynamics...

Is there a consensus on the validity of Swenson’s proposed "fourth law of thermodynamics" regarding spontaneous ordering in biological systems?

Swenson (2023) proposes a compelling “fourth law of thermodynamics” suggesting that in open systems, negentropic ordered flow can produce entropy at a faster rate than disordered flow, leading to...
